Hello,
Yes, there is a chance but it is not that much as if it should get transferred to you baby, and then it will be by you.
But in your age, it is not usually affected. Having said that it is difficult to say you act as carrier or not.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Surajit Gorai
