The factors that clearly increase the risk of having a baby with Down syndrome is the age of the mother during pregnancy. Women who are pregnant at the age of 20 years have a risk of 1 to 1,500. If pregnancy is delayed 10 years, and the risk increases to 1 800. And if the appeal was delayed 10 years to get pregnant at age 40, the risk is 1 in 100. However, this does not close the possibility of a higher risk for all stages of pregnancy.
Women over 35 have a higher risk of having a baby with Down syndrome conditions, especially if the sperm obtained is of men aged 40 years and older. Women who have had a child with Down syndrome are also more at risk of having a baby with this condition in subsequent pregnancies.
