long in the tooth? how old are you?

Biologically speaking, she is long in the tooth for a first child. Having a child with a birth defect caused by missing, damaged, or extra chromosomes is increased in older women. The risk of having a baby with a chromosome problem is 1 in 525 at age 20 years; 1 in 385 at age 30 years; 1 in 200 at age 35 years; and 1 in 65 at age 40 years. That's a considerable increase over younger first time mothers. Also, older first time mothers are more prone to gestational diabetes and other birth complications.

Well I suppose if all you want is a brood mare (like Diana was) than maybe someone younger would make some sense.

Looking at the couple I’d say they’re really in love. Who wouldn’t go for it in the same situation?

So she got caught up in the leftist stupid politics...I’ll just ignore her opinions like I ignore the rest of the left’s opinions.

My wife was 37 (almost 38) when we were married and almost 40 when our daughter was born. It turned out OK.
