[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has a younger sibling with significant disabilities that were not accurately predicted in womb (my mom was 35), it is devastating for the family. My parents have sacrificed a lot; they never can go anywhere on their own, their life fully revolves around taking care of my sibling, and sibling will live with them lifelong. Once they pass, I know I will have sibling move in with me. If you’re concerned about the risk at all — and the risk does increase the older you are — I would not do it. If you ended up with a child that had significant needs, that will be very hard on your marriage, your life, and your other kids. Of course there are many people who ended up with healthy and happy kids post 35, but the question is not whether it’s possible, it’s whether you’re willing to risk it. [/quote] I’m sorry about your situation. This is the risk with every pregnancy. [/quote]
