I see nothing wrong with it. I had my daughter at 32 and I was not the tough woman I thought I was. I then miscarried with the next pregnancy, got pregnant again and lost a daughter in NICU. I suck at being pregnant! Here I go again though!

But that's just me. I know of women older or not in the great the greatest in shape who carry with no problems. Some women have tougher bodies. All that crap warning women of increased risk with age have been exagerated according to an article I read recently(I'll look for the article). Oh and my mom had a child with down syndrome at 29.

No. Just be prepared for a time change difference when your little one grows up since the age will be so far apart.

I hope not seeing how I'm almost 35 weeks and just turned 44 last week!  A lot depends on your health and there are higher risks being older.
