blimey, thats a bit scary as I am just about to (hopefully) go back to uni and was hoping to have another baby when I finish......I will be 36-37 and he will be 37-38
Is that too old

I would have thought it was fairly old to have a baby a few years ago but when I had my dd I was 28 and I was one of the youngest women at the antenatal group.

They are saying there increased risk of miscarriage with fathers from mid thirties too!
