Varies: Much of this varies with the general health of the mother, since pregnancy is a significant stress on the body.Pre-existing conditions can make complications more likely.All pregnancies start at ~4% risk of unexpected outcome.At that age, the risk of Down syndrome or other chromosome defect ranges between 1/30 to 1/50.If mom is healthy & monitored, chances are she will have a successful pretgnancy
