35: If you take one thousand pregnant moms at 33 about 5 of them have children with chromosomal anomalies. If you do the same when you are 40 the number rises to 25.

Not at all: There are risks involved in getting pregnant no matter what age you are. Thirty three is not particularly risky particularly if you have no medical problems. Pregnancy risks do increase with age though.
