The 2019 statistics once again "pleased" data: the average age at first birth has once again increased. And if at zero for the first time a woman gave birth mostly to 25 years, and now most of them are doing it in the period between 25 and 36 years.
Oddly enough, but now we walked in step with the United States and the developed European countries in this regard. And this is not the final results, celebrities set the new benchmark - deliver "much after" 40 for the first, and even more so, for the second time.
The trend, as they say, "on the face." But let's see: what is still the age of first pregnancy is considered to be late? And the resolution it is fraught? They say that any serious complications. Is it a myth or is there really a reason to be afraid of?
Pregnancy: when she really "late"?
Dry statistics: most doctors said late first pregnancy women who came after her (female) 35th anniversary. At this age, doctors believe, exacerbated chronic genital and extragenital diseases (if they exist, of course) in the female body. At the same time it begins to rapidly decrease ovarian reserve: female reproductive system produces fewer healthy eggs. And, in principle, to conceive it becomes difficult at times.
This does not mean that the bear "should always be" up to 35. This is only a statistical measure. And so - all individually. Doctors usually guided by a particular person, his state of health and the so-called "biological age".
The risks of pregnancy and childbirth after 35
These include:
- increased likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus;
- possible complications during pregnancy and labor in the mother (increased AD, the development of gestational diabetes, etc.) And the child;
- the likelihood of developing multiple-fetuses pregnancies and additional difficulties associated with it;
- the risk of miscarriage increases (up to 25 years - 15%, and then - more than 25%);
- complications during and after childbirth due to loss of muscle tone with age.
Pros late pregnancy
It is believed that in '35 and later the woman begins to relate to posterity, and everything connected with it, with much more responsibility. Plus or minus - decide. Moreover, at this age, as a rule, have reached some kind of material and social stability. And it is - just a plus. And the pregnancy proceeds of such mothers is much quieter than the very young girls. This is the observation of specific Gynecologists and may be contrary to the statistics.
