[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm all for people having kids in their 40s, just as long as they truly weight the pros and cons. That said, some of the arguments on here are not really on the mark. Sure you can have a child with SN in your 20s (or 30s like me), but after 40 your chances skyrocket. I would not have my life any other way, but I would say some people are being flippant on here. Also, yes we can get illnesses and even die in our 20s, but once gain our chances go up in our 40s so you need to remember that and also have a support network.Also, pregnancy itself can set things off and it is often harder on the body later in life. I am not saying don't do it, what I am saying is I think this thread is skewed and it does OP a disservice to make it sound like NBD.[/quote] The chance of birth defects increases but they absolutely do not skyrocket. [/quote] exactly! at worst, they go from very small to small. [/quote]
