Depends on variables: Pregnancy risks depend on a variety of variables.If your basic health is good, your system may be able to handle the process well.As you are likely aware, your risk of a Down syndrome birth is increased to about 4-5 % and that must be added to an overall risk of 4% of unexpected outcome for any pregnancy.A visit to your obgyn and a genetic counsellor may be your best source of specific information.
