talk to your ob/gyn doctor . . . they should have statistics on risk .. .basically i think it's a little more risky, but not detrimental to the woman's health.

While doctors used to get nervous about women getting pregnant in their 40s, it's not as much of a concern these days. 21st Century medicine has come a long way. That's not to say she shouldn't keep her appointments with the doctor and take care of herself, but if she is an otherwise healthy woman, she should do fine.

my sister-in-law just gave birth to her baby girl and she's 36..both of them are healthy and doing fine. just tell your wife to not to drink or smoke and do what the dr.s tell her to do and they will be fine. i send you my wishes and best luck to the 3 of you!!
