😂😂😂😂😂 how many lies are in this article? Well, many! Let me start by saying Geriatric pregnancies start at 40 years old. The blood pressure risk is incorrect and I'm 36, conceiced

verrry easily and am having the perfect pregnancy! Enough with the age shaming. If you're 35+, relax and enjoy your pregnancy. The biggest risk to pregnancy is stress! Lots
