At 35 or over a woman's DNA is so beaten up from ageing that the chance of deformities etc goes up *by orders of magnitude. *

If your DNA is so beaten up from ageing that having a pregnancy after 35 is risky, then perhaps it makes sense to call 35 old. A woman who is geriatric (or advanced age) having a pregnancy.

Yes, as in, a geriatric woman being pregnant. It's risky having children at or past that age, because a woman's DNA has took a beating from ageing.

It is if you're a woman. https://www.healthline.com/health/pregnancy/geriatric-pregnancy 35 or over is clinically classed as "geriatric".

Everything's normal! I've seen multiple doctors and had every blood, vitamin, and hormone test under the sun, and then some. Everything comes back normal. I'm just not in my prime

 

I’m nowhere near as smart as I was when I was 15. This thing with mispronouncing words and getting sentences wrong happens to me all the time now and I find it so much easier to communicate via text than actually speaking. Most of the time I feel like I don't know what's going on and I actually thought today was Wednesday! Hooray for ageing! I miss teenage me.
