For women planning to conceive at a later age, caution is essential. Pregnancy after 35 carries higher risks for both the mother and the baby. Gynecologist Dr. Reubina Singh recently shared insights in a video on factors that can make conceiving more difficult and the complications that can arise.
Why Pregnancy Can Be Complex
Pregnancy is a complex process, and even with careful planning, some women may face challenges, including miscarriage. Certain lifestyle and health factors can increase these risks significantly.
Key Points Shared by Dr. Singh:
- Daily smoking and alcohol consumption can reduce sperm count.
- A sedentary lifestyle combined with frequent consumption of junk food can trigger PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease).
- Ignoring severe menstrual pain and avoiding medical consultation can lead to endometriosis.
- Delaying pregnancy may make conceiving more difficult in the long run.
Risks of Late Pregnancy
According to research from the Cleveland Clinic, conceiving after the age of 35 is different from a typical pregnancy. At this age:
- The risk of miscarriage increases.
- There is a higher chance of the baby developing genetic disorders.
- Conception can be more challenging, requiring additional medical support and monitoring.
Health Complications Women May Face:
- High blood pressure (Hypertension)
- Gestational diabetes
- Multiple pregnancies (twins or more)
- Large baby size
- Preterm birth or low birth weight
- Requirement for C-section
- Miscarriage or stillbirth
