"For" and "against" late pregnancy

Age is not an obstacle

If we take into account the average age of first pregnancy around the world, it is 35 years old.

However, many women decide to become a mother, and later in life (the number of such cases is increasing).

In the past, women who gave birth in the 26-27 years old, considered a late mothers. Today we talk about it at all is incorrect, since the possibilities of modern medicine make it possible to give birth and after 40 years without any problems.

In Ukraine, most women become mothers later, gave birth to 57 years. This is reality!

Although, of course, physicians are reminded that since 35 years in the reproductive system of women begin irreversible changes.

Why women are more likely to give birth after 30?

This is the most popular age for the fairer sex, who received education and build a career. is now also completely removed from the agenda the question of the availability of contraception (and abortion). The women were able to become a mother absolutely consciously and in a time when they feel a willingness to get pregnant.

The risk of late delivery are also present:

It may be more difficult to get pregnant, since the quality and quantity of eggs declines. Also, the expectant mother should be aware of the threat of miscarriage, the probability of such an outcome of pregnancy increases after the 35 years.

Chromosomal abnormalities, malformations and missed abortion occur somewhat more frequently in advanced pregnancies, but this does not insured, even young women. Often used caesarean section.

But all this does not mean that after 35-40 years, a woman can not give birth to a healthy baby. It is important to take responsibility for planning, visit the doctor, take the survey and follow the doctor's advice. Good luck!
