Is 37 too much old to have a third child?

Is 37 too risky to have a third child? Are the chance of having a disabled child too high to risk it. Would a healthy 37 year old be putting their health at risk by having another child at this age. Also is it unfair on the child to have an older parent? Thoughts please?

Don’t be ridiculous.

I had my DC at 41. Are you deliberately trying to be insulting?

Agreed. I think OPs post is pretty rude to be honest.

@summerfinn not at all. Many women have kids at this age even in their early 40s.

I had a dc at 37. 4 and one at 43.2.. Def didn't feel old then and don't now at 51!. Enjoyed both pregnancies.
