The fertile age ends when the woman stops menstruating, however, at 40, the reproductive possibility of a woman is less than 5% per cycle, so a natural pregnancy is strange.

With the increase in pregnancies of older women, more and more doctors have had to talk to their patients about the increasing risks they face.

Pregnant women after age 40 face an increased risk of gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, breast cancer, and miscarriages.

Your children also face an increased risk of chromosomal problems. Some studies show that having an older parent puts the child at risk for autism and other cognitive disorders, such as being born healthy and healthy, the risks vary depending on the patient. “The underlying health is a big factor in the outcome of the pregnancy.

High levels of estrogen and progesterone can cause an increase in blood pressure and bad cholesterol levels. So we must carefully observe all these elements: The fertile age for women is before 37 years, after 40 the fertility decreases, and pregnancies can be great risks.

The main problem faced by older women, those who are over 37 years of age, is the baby’s chromosomal alterations. In other words, children are at increased risk of genetic problems such as Down syndrome.

Other risks are that delivery will be advanced and babies will be born premature, hypertensive, and metabolic disorders, obstetric complications associated with bleeding, among other factors, that occur in late pregnancies.
