Having more and more kids in the home is always good. I do not think there should be an issue if you are healthy and mentally prepared to have a child, though there are concerns about how kid's development be after 40, but that too nowadays can be checked and monitored to have everything fine. But, I suggest, you already have 3 biological kids, and why not adopt a kid if you are longing for one. This way, you will have a child and the kid will have a beautiful family as well. Give it a thought, there are many children in this world who need a loving and caring family. :)

I think it depends on how much you wish to have another baby. You have to weigh the pros and cons. As woman's age increases, the risk of having a baby with chromosomal abnormalities increases. A few of the other risks include: 1. Gestational diabetes 2. Pre-eclampsia 3. Miscarriage 4. Preterm delivery 5. Problems with the placenta (placenta previa, placental insuffieciency) 6. Stillbirth 7. Down syndrome On the positive note, majority of mommies in their 40s gave birth to healthy babies. We have seen so many successful cases such as Fann Wong.

There are increased risks for women who get pregnant over the age of 35. It is also not as easy to get pregnant. There is also a higher risk of the baby being born with Down Syndrome and a higher risk of miscarriage. That said, my friend just delivered her very healthy second baby at 40 years old too. https://www.healthxchange.com.sg/News/Pages/Lucky-to-be-mums-at-40.aspx

It is always nice to have more kids in the house. If your current health condition and financially stable, why not? However, the risk of down syndrome will be higher for pregnancy age above 35 years old. You can do genetic test at 10 weeks pregnancy to rule out the DS.

a blessing from God im 35 and im 8weeks pregnant for my 4th baby, mejo nakakastress lng kc im diabetic☹️ pinapasa Diyos ko na lng lahat

You still can have babies during 40, no worries. Make it as your last one though. Otherwise your body will need to endure a lot

above 35y.o will always have more risk.but if you're healthy with no medical or other problem you can try.

y not.. try for the last one at age 40 .. by t depends to your health condition too
