More Risk No Longer Means High Risk
The current consensus among those who know is that of course there are risks associated with having children at midlife, but they have been greatly reduced by recent advancements in medical science.  With consistent prenatal care most problems that arise during a midlife pregnancy can be met with a change in diet, exercise, or the introduction of a specific medication.  Good prenatal care is the key.  Chose your healthcare professional early into your pregnancy, don’t miss prenatal appointments, and if complications do arise, report them to your health care professional immediately.
