Although more and more women are now planning pregnancies later in life when they are emotionally and financially stable, the implications of having a pregnancy after 35 years of age must be given a thought.
Remember the following if you are over 35 years of age and are planning a pregnancy:
A woman's fertility
gradually begins to decline after 35 years of age
Mothers over 35 years
are at a greater risk of developing complications like
high blood pressure
The risk of having
babies with Down's
syndrome increases
However if you are fit and healthy and your pregnancy is
being monitored closely by a doctor, the above risks are
greatly reduced.
