    Unfortunatly, you are already 7.94 times more likly to have a child at risk for Chromosomal Abnormalities like Down Syndrome. There is double the chance of a very low birthweight of the child. Infant mortality rate is greater. ******FOR YOUR HEALTH AND BABY’S HEALTH: If you are approaching or are over 35 and are or plan to be pregnant, you should be offered prenatal diagnostic studies and not screening only. I personally can’t see in having a child past 45. There are times in which health issues, even nursing care can occur at 60-65 years old. Nursing Homes have 5-10% of population at that age. God forbid my kid come home from High School to visit me in a nursing home. Now some people live healthy until they are 90 and never need nursing care. But….. I think 50 is absolutly absurd and very, very selfish.
