[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don't understand....
I had children in the early 00s and it was GENERALLY and widely accepted that there was a danger zone past 35 because of scientifically established risks associated with getting pregnant over 35.  All of my peers had children in late 20s and early 30s. Very few AMA moms, and yes, I was living in an urban area and we were all "well educated."

Did they come out with new research?  Or are people just ignoring it?[/quote]

No, the old moms on here think that they know better than scientists and medical authority. It doesn’t apply to them, they are among those whose biology is exempt from aging and what the AMA reports. Don’t you dare disagree with them, they need the validation. [/quote]

DP. While the risk goes up relative to younger moms, the overall risk is still quite low. I'm not sure why you feel the need to dig in here. I literally only have one college or law school friend who had kids in his 20s. Everyone else started in their mid 30s, and while IVF has been common, the kids are all fine (and will likely benefit from having richer parents whose careers are well established). I personally had 2/3 of my kids at 35 and 38. I got pregnant the first month off birth control both times. My experience is obviously not universal, but it is not uncommon either.[/quote]
