My mother in law thinks having a baby at 37 to 41 yrs old is no different than someone less than 35 yrs old. could you please set the record straight.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: The rates of complications go up with advancing age but there is still a good chance that pregnancy can be completed without complications resulting in a healthy baby. Eat right with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Don't smoke or drink. Be seen by obstetrician.
