No, not at all. The only things to be aware of are that your fertility levels start to drop after the age of 35, so conceiving might take a little longer, also the chances of having a baby with a congenital disability ( eg. Down's Syndrome ) starts to increase after the age of 35 - this still isn't a big statistical rick until after the ages of 40-45 though, so don't let this worry you too much.

No....many women opt to have their families at this time of life. Its a very personal choice. My mother had me when she was 35, and whats more my old boss had her fourth and final child at 43. Naturally im sure you are aware that there are a few more risks posed by waiting until now but those are things such as Downs syndrome risks which you will need to be pregnant before you can find out your risk. the only other factor may be in trying to conceive....it could take slightly longer at 35 as women have past their most fertile stage by then but if you want to have a baby then go for it....goodluck x

No, it is not too late for a 35 year old woman to get pregnant. My youngest baby was born when I was 38. Friends of ours had their first baby when she was 40 and he was 41.

Definitely not. When I was 36, my doctor switched my birth control pills because he said I was getting older and needed to be on different pills because of the hormone levels. Two months later, I was pregnant. Thanks doc. I love my baby with all my heart. My point is many women have babies after 35, planned and unplanned. If you talk to people at the doctor's office, you will find there are lots of women in their late 30s and even early 40's having babies. It is starting to be common, so go for it if you want.

I was pregnant with my first baby at 35/36 so I don't think so at all and I want to have at least one more!
Fertility drops and the chances of conplications increase after the age of 35.
Many women continue to have healthly pregnancies and babies into their 40's!

I'm 38 and on my 4th pregnancy. I maybe feel more tired than when I was younger but that may also be because I work full time and have to get up at 6am.
Go for it, at 35 you are more relaxed (hopefully) about life anyway.
Good luck

No, not at all. Although fertility halves between the age of 25 and 35 so it might take a little longer to conceive.

not at all it may take a little longer as fertility can be reduced from that age but no reason what so ever to think that 35 is to old to have a baby

I don't think so-sometimes I think think theres too much bad press about this- I'm 33 and conceived again 6 weeks after having a tube removed for an ectopic pregnancy.

Not at all, 35 is not that old!
