How maternal age might affect pregnancy: for most women it won’t at all. Nearly one birth in five is to women over the age of 35 and most have perfectly healthy pregnancies and babies. There are some differences though in the care a woman will receive and possible considerations for a woman over 35 and again over 40 than for a woman, say, in her 20s. Go to
