@njgal

1st -26
2nd - 28
3rd - TBD.

So is 35 really high risk? where did they get this number? I want to have another but that “high risk” category is a bit scary.

I have always heard and read this bit.For some reason they use 35 as a cut off point and is said that risks for certain pregnancy related complications and genetic defects increases beyond this age.
Another thing I found out a few years ago was that insurance companies (atleast in my state) do not cover anything related to fertility treatments (that is if you have to go down that route) after the age of 40.The reason quoted is that pregnancy becomes high risk after that.
There must be scientific reasons to all of this.
