I am 38 and just found out I am pregnant with my 4th child. I am scheduled to go on a short mission trip to help build a house in Juarez, Mexico, in 2 weeks, when I will be 6 weeks pregnant. I am in very good health and never had any complications with other pregnancies, but I realize that my age alone puts me at higher risk. Should I cancel my trip?
