Hello, To answer your question, there can be many different risks to being pregnant when 40 years old and older. Roughly two thirds of women over 40 have fertility problems. There can be risks towards the woman and the baby. For the woman, chances are you can develop problems such as high blood pressure and Diabetes during the pregnancy, and birth complications also. Women pregnant at 40 and up may also have the risk of giving birth to a underweight baby, or a premature one. There are also chances of miscariage. As for the baby, it can be born with many health problems, or with mental disabilities and another high risk is that it can be born with down-syndrome. I hope everything goes well with the pregnancy, and I hope this somewhat helped you. Goodluck!
