Consequently, pregnancy at the age of 40 will have the risk of having babies with disabilities. The most common disability is Down syndrome (motor weakness, low IQ). But it could also physically disabled.The second risk is for the mother. Entering the age of 35, she must to be careful to get pregnant because the reproductive health of women in this age decreases. Their condition will decline when entering the age of 40. The risk is increasingly by the age of 40 years, because degenerative diseases (such as high blood pressure, diabetes) began to appear. The worst is that all the risk can cause the death of the mother.
