A member asked:
Can a women of 42 bring a baby?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes,but: Some would encourage you to consider the issues involved. At 40 you reach a point where the risk of a Down syndrome birth has increased to about 1% but all pregnancies have about 4% overall risk of some unexpected outcome (cleft, premi, sickness, etc.) the risks are there for all to some degree. Mom had a happy outcome at 42 ; many have them later. Discuss with your doc ; follow your heart.
