What to expect when waiting for a child after 35 years
Is it really dangerous after 35?
Doctors believe that any pregnancy of a woman older than 35 years is associated with certain risks. On the one hand, the future mum is responsible to its condition. On the other hand, at such an age, the body is not always ready for a serious call. Therefore, if you have already decided that you have to become a mum after 35, pay attention to certain factors and risks.
Rejuvenating effect
Pregnancy launches a lot of positive processes in the body. However, the present gift of late pregnancy is rejuvenation.
Childbirth at this age contribute to reducing the level of cholesterol, which reduces the risk of vascular disease. Breastfeeding will help you get rid of problems with mammary glands.
In addition, women who gave birth to a child after 35 years old, menopause usually occurs much later.
Risks and calls
Almost every pregnancy is accompanied by certain risks. Some of them can intensify with age. For example, women aged 35-45 are more likely to suffer toxicosis, the risk of premature birth or, conversely, reduction of the child.
However, the attentive and careful attitude of the future mother to his health and the body, compliance with all recommendations of doctors will significantly reduce these risks and give birth to a healthy child.
We will consider that pregnancy in mature age may become an indicator for preservation in a hospital or before childbirth with a cesarean section. Although assertion that late childbirth always ends with cesarean section, you can name myth. If a woman is healthy, watching himself, she can give birth to a child in a natural way and in 45 years. Age as such is not a show to surgical intervention during childbirth.
Possible complications
Late birth today are no longer as dangerous as it was before. However, there are certain moments that doctors pay special attention.
For example, the risk of developing genetic pathologies of the fetus. The most common ones include Down syndrome, Edward syndrome and Patau syndrome. These diseases are known as trisomies arising from the presence of an additional third chromosome cell.
Down syndrome is the most widespread trisomy. Statistics show that for pregnant women older than 35 years, the risk of its development in the fetus is 1 out of 360, and in women in 40 years - 1 of 100.
Among other complications is also the birth of a child with too little or too much weight and increased remarkability.
Difficulties with drawing
In 35 years, the woman's body has already passed its physiological peak, its functions begin to decline gradually. In everyday life, this may not be reflected, but for the fruiting of the fetus requires a so-called strength supply.
In women of this age, 7 times more often there is hypoxia of the fetus, increases the number of cases of increased toxicosis, layout of the placenta, premature casting of amniotic fluid.
How to prepare for pregnancy?
To such a responsible and important step in your life should be prepared in advance. Doctors advise for half a year to conceive to do the following:
- Stop using alcohol, tobacco, medicines that can hurt the health of a future child.
- By the time of conception, to make all the necessary research, conduct treatment if necessary.
- Use special vitamins and preparations to prevent the abnormalities of the fetus.
- Get rid of excess weight.
- Adjust the mode of day, develop a diet of proper nutrition.
It is worth remembering that during the planning of pregnancy and in the period of child delivery is important: physical activity, nutrition, serious attitude to their state, timely examination and compliance with the recommendations of the doctor.
Bless you!
