It only gets harder the older you get. So if you ever think you might want kids, do it now when your body can recover faster. Also, the chances of any birth defects rise dramatically with age.

iirc, the age thing is more of a male problem than a female. I think by the time you're thirty, your sperm producing cells have divided 2-3 times. Much like in 6th grade, its the division that kills ya.

After 35, they do worry a lot about the female. One of my friends basically had to get ultrasounds on a weekly basis and a whole lot of other things just because she was older than that.

True, that counts as a difficult/high risk pregnancy. However, the increased risk of birth defects generally comes from old sperm. ;)

Lower sperm count/quality, yes. The 'host' is more of an issue because the baby is growing inside of a body that may not be able to sustain a healthy baby.

edit: I guess its a toss up.
 
All I know is that by the time I've kicked my kids out of the house, I'm still going to be young enough to enjoy the extra money I finally have cause the kids are gone.

Mortality is the issue with older pregnant women (both mother and infant). However, genetic abnormalities come from Desslock's sperm. I think I remember reading that Down's skyrockets as men get older.

Hmm, interesting. We are led to believe women are the problem.


...surprisingly not this time.

i am questioning the accuracy of this statement. i think women's ages TOO have a lot to do with genetic abnormalities.
