A very good family friend of mine had her one and only at 40. He's now around 10 and perfectly healthy.

A women at any age can have a baby with Down’s syndrome, the odds are increased as a woman gets older but still not that high. Also infertility is more common after 35 so don’t wait too long.

I was reading the other day a new study saying that having a baby over the age of 35 isn't as risky as they thought. It said the increase in older mothers gave them more data to study.

I had my last at 40, perfectly healthy. He is now 7yrs old. Do not listen to your crazy mom.

Compared to what some tell this is nothing and who would care anyway? The risk is higher the older you get. I do know older moms however where the kid is fine.

I had my son when I was 35. I'll be 37 soon, and talked to my doctor back in January about having another baby. She said she didn't see a problem with it.

It's not too old, but there are health risks. I had GD when I was pregnant with Monkey, but other than that there were no problems, and he's perfectly fine today.

I had triplets at 39, all born healthy with no issues. While I'm sure your mom means well she is wrong. There is no will definitely have downs or any disability for that matter. Yes having babies later in life has more risks for both baby and mom but your mom can't predict the outcome.

Your mother is an idiot. I know people who had kids in their 40 and 50 without downs. 🤦🤦🤦🤦
