I believe a mother should do all she can to ensure she has a healthy, happy baby. That said, should a woman have a baby after the age of forty (even if she can still conceive naturally)? I know women over a certain age are more likely to have a baby with Down's syndrome. Would choosing to have a child later in life be equal to smoking while pregnant?

This isn't a judgmental question, I'm just curious about how other people feel about this.

I read Our Stolen Future last year, and this news is not really all that new. When I found I was pregnant last Christmas, I immediately ceased using all commercial cosmetics and learned to make my own because I wanted the best for my baby.

It was a good thing, too... I gave birth to my boy three days ago.

I wish everyone would avoid perfume. It can be quite a trial going out somewhere if there are people wearing perfume when you have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.
