No.: While there is always a risk of complications with any pregnancy, most women in their thirties have healthy deliveries. The main concern of increasing age is that the baby could have down syndrome. The risk at the age of 34 is 1/260.

Depends on variables: The background risk of an unexpected outcome for any pregnancy at any age is 4%.This includes such things as prematurity, cleft lip/palate, chromosome defect or illness.If your baseline health is fragile, individual risk must be added plus the minor risk of a Down syndrome birth. For a healthy 34 yo it is a good time to have babies. Your life experiences have made you well prepared for the process.
