Pregnancy Risk Assessment at 37: Down Syndrome & Autism Concerns

Question
I am 37 and have 2 boys ages 6 and 7 and thinking about one more baby if nature allows, but I am concerned about my chances for Down's Syndrome, Autistic etc. Would you be able to get me some information to help me make a decision as to whether I am over my healthy prime for another child? Thanks  

Answer
Yes, you are at increased risk so would want your nutrition to be perfect plus take 3 omega-3 fish oil caps four times  a day and Centrum silver daily and B-100 four times a day for at least 6 months prior to getting pregnant and the same with the father so your risks are reduced as much as possible but check with your doctors.
