Is 41-42yr to old to still consider having a child, how high are the associated risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discuss with OB: The occurrence of a chromosome defect increases gradually as you age to as high as 1/12 if 49.You must add this risk to any others posed by your health or others within the family.A formal consultation with a genetic counselor could explore your individual risks. They are often affiliated with children's hospitals or medical schools.
