I have two children aged 7 and 4 and would like to have another. The problem is I am 45 years old. I am aware that fertility is reduced with age but I am very concerned about the risk of Downs syndrome with mother's age. I have two questions:

1) Does that the fact that I already have 2 children 'reduce' the risk of having a Down's syndrome child?

2) How high is this risk? i.e.what percentage of women age 45 and over have Down's syndrome children.


I had my last period on May 31st 2010, so my baby should be due March 7th 2011. The scan gave me a due date of February 26th 2011, can you tell me why?

I am 33 weeks pregnant and for about a month and a half I have had breast milk leaking from one breast and not the other. I have looked it up on the internet and it says this could indicate a problem?

I have just found out I’m pregnant, so I’m just four weeks yesterday. However, just before I found out, I had to have an X-ray on my wrist, and I had also been to a function and had been drinking alcohol. I’m worried I may have done some damage?

Should I be wearing a sports bra for extra support whilst pregnant?
