Hi and thanks for this. Although I am not pregnant and will not be getting pregnant again, I was pregnant with my twins at age thirty seven. It's very true that older ladies face issues during pregnancy that younger women don't usually have to worry about. For me, it was one pregnancy that ended in miscarriage due to a chromosome disorder and the heart defect my son Calvin was born with and later died from. Those two things themselves convinced me that I was not willing to take the chance at anything going wrong again. As well, I found that pregnancy was harder on my body this last time around, even though I was thirty four when my first daughter was born. Older women are more likely to suffer from gestational diabetes, chromosome disorders, more difficulty getting pregnant and a higher rate of miscarriage.
