There is, for example, a six times higher rate of autism in children of men over 40 vs. under 30. For the person saying correlation does not equal causation, the relationship increases monotonically, i.e. the older the man the higher the risk. So it is pretty clearly causative in this case.


It makes sense that offspring of older fathers would be less healthy because older fathers pass on more genetic mutations. The number of mutations increases with each year of paternal age. And mutations are usually harmful.

"the diversity in mutation rate of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is dominated by the age of the father at conception of the child. The effect is an increase of about 2 mutations per year. "

Correlation, but not causation. They haven't quite isolate the cause, but it's more prevalent in children with older fathers.


Also mental illness.

Omigosh, I had a baby at age 42, my partner was 37, Its not like at 34 ad 364 days you are low risk ad then 35 hits, and risk sky rockets. The riskfor preterm birth is much higher with less than 18 months between pregnancies, its not definitive, but either is having a child after 35, so just calm down, and at least wait until your child is 12 months old.

I'm 31 and just had my first four months ago but DH is 37 and we're trying again. We had trouble getting pregnant the first time due to male factor infertility and it's only going to get harder. He'd rather push through the diaper phase while he still has some energy left!

I’d be more concerned in 10 years. His age is not shockingly high at this point.

Older men make autistic babies.

Most medical professionals recommend at least a year between pregnancies. So you could start TTC when your child is 1 and give birth when your husband is still under 40.

Either way, there is not a ton in your post about what YOU want. 35 is considered advanced maternal age, but realistically, things do not start to get iffy until 40. I had my babies at 28 and 37 and the pregnancies were essentially the same.

I have a 9 months old baby, currently 28 year old, and DH is 38 years old.

Well, he is afraid of higher chances of baby having genetic disorder. My original thought was not to consider the 2nd one till a few years after.
Anyone can answer me.


his sperm quality may "deteriorate" over time
