Pregnancy after 40 is a test for many women.
Late pregnancy: what depends
Statistics say that about 30 percent of women suffer from early depletion of the ovarian reserve, regardless of age. In her 30s, the reproductive capacity of even a completely healthy woman decreases slightly, but after 45 years, the vast majority of women are not able to conceive a child. At the same time, many women are still able to give life to a baby, each case is individual, in addition, genetics plays a significant role.
The role of medicine
You may feel great, but due to some issues you cannot afford to expand your family, this does not allow you to abandon your health. At least once a year, you should be examined by a gynecologist and together with your doctor assess your chances of motherhood. Do not drop this question, or it may be late. If after 40 you are not planning a pregnancy for a couple of years, it is reasonable to think about delayed motherhood, which is active practiced in the West: the point is that female eggs are stored in a cryobank until a woman is ripe for pregnancy.
What obstacles can be
Even if you manage to preserve the eggs, the rest of the body can wear out quickly. And with age, this process is only gaining momentum. This is especially true for women living in megalopolises: chronic stress and a sedentary lifestyle have not yet benefited anyone. Experts consider one of the biggest problems - osteochondrosis. In order to successfully endure a baby, a lot of stamina and a strong back are required, but few people change their fifths with perfect posture and strong bones. In addition, there may be problems with metabolic processes and the thyroid gland.
What to do?
Although pregnancy after 40 is not an easy test, this is not at all a reason to give up the joy of motherhood. At least once a year before the planned event, undergo an examination with all doctors, the main of which should be a gynecologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist. All chronic diseases must be brought into remission, and hormonal levels must be monitored.
