Snake (and any one else interested in this!), further to my last post, I found this from Wikipedia

**********************************
Miscarriages occur more often than most people think. About 25% of women will experience one in their lives. Up to 78% of all conceptions may fail [1], in most cases before the woman even knows she is pregnant. A fifth of confirmed pregnancies have some bleeding occurring in the first 20 weeks and in all 15% proceed to miscarriage [2]. After the age of 35, the risk of miscarriage increases considerably: 1 in 5 or 6. After 40, the risk increases to 1 in 3, and after 45 it is 1 in 2.

After reading this article, I not so sure if your logic holds good still! Anyway, I will be hunting for more convincing arguments.
