I am 40 years old & my wife is 38. We have a son of 9 yrs. Due to certain issues related to my wife's job we did not plan for second baby. Now her job issues are solved and we want to have another baby. Will our ages be the matter of concern. Kindly suggest whether we should go for it or not?

yes and no in first pregnancy at 35 plus chances of congenital defects including down syndrome are more in second pregnancy around same age, if general health is good, nothing to worry get regular antenatal check ups done and watch for high bp or reduce chances of getting high bp by eating well and reducing stress
