Hi im a 37 year old married mother of 2 my husband is 40 together we have a dd that is nearly 10 and a ds that is 4. I feel like I want another child but my husband is worried about risks as im getting older and my dd said she dosnt want another sibling that's a baby. What should I do?

Plenty of people have babies into their 40’s and so I wouldn’t consider this to be a massive risk and I also wouldn’t have been discussing this with a 10 year old girl. The decision is yours and your husbands.

Your husband is being realistic. It needs to be a joint decision so it's a non starter unless you can both agree.
