Today, it was my birthday and I have no children. My father bluntly says, "Well, I guess if I get any grand-babies out of you now, they will have Down's Syndrome." I just turned 30. FML

Your dad is an ass. 35+ is when women are most at risk. And besides, there are plenty of women who successfully deliver passed that point with no issues.

It's a lot better than having kids when you're not ready for them.

find a 23-25 year old op young loving ya dig?

We had a beautiful healthy little girl when my wife was 41. I can promise that her grandparents would have loved her without reservation even with a disability. I have a grandson with special needs who was born when his mother was 27. I adore him---he is my hero

Don't worry, OP. Your dad's just kidding. Maybe he just wants you to have kids fast

Nonsense OP, my mom had me when she was 33 and was and am very healthy to this day

Um how is that fml? unless you wanted kids... it is just a standard fact that it is a 50% chance increase in having a child with down syndrome if you are a woman over 30.

What in the actual ****? My mom had me when she was 41, and my older sister when she was 35. We have no mental illnesses. Sure, you’re not typically “supposed to” have children after you turn 35 because the eggs grow old, but it’s not like if you pop out a kid at 36 they’ll definitely have any mental diseases. Even if they did, care for them no less than any other children that you would care for otherwise.
