I don't mean to be so direct but at 37
youre chances are not as high anymore.
You should ask your Dr. What you should
do and shouldnt do.

If you want to have a baby, maybe you and
your husband should sit down with a doctor
and have him/her express his concerns and
the issues, and the risks of having a baby
over 35 years of age. My mom got
preggers at 50 (i know that you aren't
that old) but that is what she and my dad
did. It gave them a good look at the
risks and the extra tests that neededto be
done and ect....
So maybe before trying you may just want
to do that so you and your husband are
fully aware of the concerns.

pretty good chance based on what tests?
He can't possibly know how long it will
take for you to concieve. You are at
higher risk for ds at your age. The
average healthy fertile couple in thier
20's has a 20-25% chance each month and is
able to concieve within 6 months. You
need to start trying and take it from
there.

well I am your age ;) but I do not want to
be having anymore babies. :p I am looking
at this time in my life as my time.
My time for vacations (vegas next week,
baby!). The older my kids get, the easier
all our lives seem to become.
That said, I don't see anything wrong with
having babies at this age at all. The
risk of downs syndrome is greater, yes,
and your stamina will be less (obviously)
but there is no reason not to have a baby
if you and your husband want one! Lots of
women do it.
I had a friend who got pregnant at 39 with
twins ~ no fertility drugs, nothing. She
never thought she could have kids, because
it had never happened. A year and 1/2
later, she got pregnant again - with a
singleton that time. Thank goodness!
My grandmother had my aunt when she was in
her 40's. The only problem with that was,
my aunt was parentless when she was 23.
So...That is something to look at. But
obviously you've already thought of all
this :) and just want some support.
I'll support you! Start trying and have
fun doing it! Woohoo!

Clearly youre not too old ! There are
risks for everyone someon more than
others. Take your chances and give your
husband a baby if it is possible. Good
luck

My cousin had a baby at 40 & her
little girl is active and healthy and
happy :) apparently she has a slight
problem with one of her kidney's but it
doens't slow her down at all.
I also have a friend who is pregnant with
her first child and she's 40. Everything
seems to be going fine so far!
However I do babysit a child with ds and
his parent's had him later in life. So I
guess it's just a gamble!
If you know the risks and you want another
baby then I say go for it.

Some men start a second family and
sometimes a 1st at a later date. It
sounds like you have a good guy, has he
did a sperm count and been checked. Some
women have menopause babies. Their are
women that are young that have high risk
pregnancies, their is always a risk. I
i wish you and yours the best and baby
dust to you!
