Is it safe?

I just turned 34 and my husband and I would like to have another baby. This will be my 4th, my youngest is now 6. I will have the baby either when I am close to turning 35 or right after I turn 35 and I just want to make sure it is safe. I am so worried not only about my own body handling it but about the baby as well.  Am I at a huge risk increase?  Sorry just want to make sure I get as much information as I can before deciding to go for it.  I will also be talking to my OBGYN next week. I have had a full heart work up which came back ok as well.

I am 44 years old and
I'm carrying my fourth child.  Just start exercising and taking prenatals before conception and your pregnancy should be great

I know there are some special tests they will do if you are over the age of 35, but I wouldn't worry too much...there are a lot of women who have beautiful healthy babies in their 30s. As long as your overall healthy I'm sure you will be just fine
