A member asked:

Good day i am 48 years of age with a history of acid reflux, gastritis, hiatus hernia repair (fundoplication), umbilical hernia repair, childless but my husband wants a child. what are the odds of pregnancy with my medical and surgical history?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fertility at the listed age of 48 is low, aside from the medical issues listed, which can be managed successfully. The risk of an unexpected or undesired outcome with any pregnancy runs about 4% at any age. When you add the age factor reaching added 5% risk of a child with a chromosome defect, the risks are significant. Consider consulting a clinical geneticist before pursuing pregnancy.
