Has this thread died? I was just about to post an interesting piece of information.
It’s not dead. Post away!
The statistics regarding women over 40 giving birth to Down Syndrome babies and still births are skewered, because the number of "first time mothers over 40" dramatically increased, and hence, the increased number those births also increased.
The risk wasn't for women over 40 in general, but for "first pregnancies in women over 40."
Mrs. Duggar, at age 42, is not having her first baby. Far from it.
Congratulations and best wishes to her and the Duggar family.
