I am 35 years old n having a 3 year old baby. We are planning for 2nd baby. My husband is 36 years old. My concern is whether at this age the baby can have any abnormalities eg chromosomal or mental abnormalities as I have heard generally in more age the child may have chance of these abnormalities. Kindly guide.
