Of course, if it's a first baby, there's always that lovely label
"elderly primigravida".

Yep, Claire nailed it. I always hated the
term. Now that I'm in my mid 40's, 35 seems like young maternal age
esp. since my twins recently turned 13 (nothing like it to make you
feel like an old man). I always thought they should change the term to
something else like too young for colonoscopy maternal age, or way too
early for AARP maternal age.

I have one more question, if that's ok?
What do you mean by AMA? I've
always thought that to be "against
medical advice", but it doesn't
really work in this context. I
think my brain is fried.

have abnormal testing, and
