[quote=Anonymous]Talk to your doctor. Do the risks increase as you get older? Sure. But 35 is not some magical number where you’re guaranteed to have a child with chromosomal issues from then on out. Honestly, it’s more likely you’d have a higher risk of having a first trimester miscarriage due to chromosomal abnormalities. As other posters have pointed out, women have been having babies well into their 40s for a very long time. This isn’t new. What’s new is a woman having her first baby at 43, rather than her seventh. But this wouldn’t impact what you’re concerned about. Talk to your doctor and make an informed decision, but I wouldn’t be scared or spend too much time worrying. [/quote]
