AMA: You are what we call advanced maternal age and yes there are some risks. Make sure you are taking a prenatal vitamin with at least 1,000mcg of folate, (folic acid) consider having early genetic evaluation like a cell free DNA test, and eat as healthy as possible. If you have conditions like hypertension or diabetes, get in to see your OB very soon.
