Pregnancy and childbirth are a burden on a woman's body, so many are interested in the possibility of carrying a child after 40 years.
Ben Gurion University professor and head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Soroka University Medical Center Eyal Shiner believes that childbirth after 40 years it is already difficult to surprise someone.
In developed countries, the number of women in labor over 40 already exceeds the number of women who become mothers under 20.
However, no difference was found between childbirth at the age of 40+ or 50+.
In both cases, women should be mindful of the high risks of all sorts of complications.
In women over forty, we record complications during pregnancy and childbirth more often than in young women in labor. At the same time, the frequency of complications remains generally at the same level for women after forty and over fifty years.The professor noted that a normal pregnancy after 50 is quite possible. For example, in Saudi Arabia in 2005 at the Faizal University clinic, 49 pregnant women over 50 years old were safely carried and given birth.
Pregnancy can be postponed for women who are in good health and have not suffered from chronic diseases.
