Actually, it's after 35 that the risks of things like Down syndrome increase. It doesn't mean that it's dangerous per say; it does mean that after 35 you probably will be watched more closely if you get pregnant, but there are certainly a good number of women who marry later in life that start families. Age doesn't mean that you WILL have pregnancy complications. It just means that the risk of such increases.

I agree that it would be something to discuss with your doctor if you're concerned.
