It is commonly accepted that the risk of giving birth to a child with a particular characteristic is linked to the mother’s age. Age is crucial to consider when planning a family.

At 25 years old, the risk of giving birth to a child with Down syndrome is approximately 1 in 1400 births, but it significantly increases as you age.

By the forties, this risk can increase to approximately 1 in 60. This shows how important it is to prepare and seek consultations for women who wish to have a healthy pregnancy.

The possibility of having twins with a similar genetic anomaly is about 14 in 1,000,000 individuals.

It is worth noting that the McConnell family is filled with happiness and fully embraces each day they spend together! We also wish them success in raising their children and great prosperity!
