[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP HERE AGAIN: actually he does was a third child which is why o told you I don’t want martial advice. He is worried to death about there being a problem despite the tests. I am trying to reassure him. So once again—try to think of someone besides yourself and your agenda. Please just answer the questions. [/quote]

Statistically, even at your ages, you're overwhelming likely to have a perfectly healthy baby. Either your husband is unaware of the statistics or is suffering from anxiety. Anecdotes from strangers online aren't going to make him feel better. Could he get some meds or therapy short-term to help him?

That said, if you want anecdotes. . .  I had my last child at 44, totally healthy. My mother's parents were 45 (mother) and 73 (father) when she was born, totally healthy. My dad is one of 15 children, the youngest born when his parents were in their 40s, plus my grandmother had a stroke while pregnant with one of oldest children and went on to deliver that child and have a dozen more, all of them healthy. (And grandmother lived to the age of 89.) So there you go.[/quote]
