See below: A mother over 35 years old is more apt to have complications than someone who is younger. However; babies are born to mothers over 35 years without complications. Discuss with OB especially if you have health conditions like diabetes before you get pregnant.

Variable: A thorough assessment of anyone's risks for pregnancy includes age, pre-pregnancy health & medications, and an assessment of the genetic input from both parents. A 43 yo has ~1/30 risk of a trisomy 21 Down syndrome birth, added to a general 4% risk with any pregnancy for an unexpected event (cleft, premi, illness). A consultation with a genetic counselor could define your specific risks.
