re: Hilary Swank, 48 years old, is pregnant with twins

I don’t know exactly the numbers cuz I’m getting old and don’t remember. But it’s like starting at 35 the chances of a birth defect go up 5% or something every year until 45 where it kinda plateaus.

Most downs children are born to women over 35.

It’s a thing. Get your wife pregnant after 35. The Gyno will sit you both down and have a talk about it.
