[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be more concerned about your husband being a “no” than birth defects. If he doesn’t want a third, then there should be no third. [/quote]

And what about my dream, my entire life, to have three children? Just curious why people like you always insist that his wishes should win out over mine.

FWIW he is also wishy washy at best but basically just thinks it sounds hard. Meanwhile, I feel like three children is my destiny, a feeling I've had my entire life. [/quote]

Honestly, no one can answer this for you, but the best answers you're going to get will be from your own doctor. I appreciate the sharing of statistics in this post, but statistics are just that. If you've had two healthy pregnancies with no concerns, your doctor may tell you you'll be fine, or you may have some markers in your health or family history that make them concerned. No one here can tell you one or another. I would also point out that the likelihood of fraternal twins increases each year after 35, so if you're worried about birth defects, I would also worry about that. [/quote]
