	Answer by Dr Smita Sarwan (doctor) on Mon 07, Mar 2011 09:41pm: Hi, The age of mother is very important as elderly mother has high risk of chromosomal abnormalities. The chances of abnormality of foetus increase 5-6 folds at 35 years or above as compared to other ages. You must do blood tests like alfa feto protein and ultrasound for early detection of foetal abnormality but it can be done only after you get pregnant. You may consult a gynaecologist as well.
