HW#10

1. This source comes from the academic search premier from the MCC library. It gives research results on low birth weight. This source is not particularly interested in advanced maternal age, but still finds it is one of the causes in low birth weight. This source comes from a health journal. It answers my research by providing evidence that mothers 30 and older do experience certain risk factors over younger moms.

2. This source is also from the academic search premier from the MCC library. This article shows how advanced maternal age impacted one mother's pregnancy and birth outcomes of her twins. This article comes from a respectable source because it was taken out of a journal for health. I think this article would be beneficial to my paper because it give a specific example of the effects of advanced maternal age.

3. This source was found through a google search. It states all of the complications women over the age of 35 may face during pregnancy. There is also another link for women over the age of 40 because they experience more complications and risks. This may not be the most reliable source because it does not give an author. It is still helpful because it is still medical and has a wide variety of information specifically to women of advanced maternal age.

4. This is a good source because it comes from an encyclopedia. It gives a good definition of what advanced maternal age. I think it will be beneficial because it will help readers that aren't familiar with the subject understand what the topic is about.
