pregnancy over 41

[RuthSoph]

Hello - I am desperately wanting another child ( have daughter who is 4) but being older I am so worried about if I eventually do get pregnant that due to my age there could be more risk of health to the baby - I know that can test for Downs Syndrome quite early but I am worried about Autism esp as I have read its increased chances the older you are - did anyone else have these worries - I think it due to be older you worry more....Thank you
also I had a miscarriage last dec at 3 months and have been trying for about 6 month to conceive with no luck - anyone else had this?

Hey Ruth I’m just about to turn 39 there isn’t much between us. Also just starting to try for my second. A bit scared to be honest they it won’t happen, or actually that it does as the newborn bit again is a bit daunting too! Good luck xxxx
