2Cons of late pregnancy

While it is somewhat true that the risk of having a baby after 35 increases. Because unlike men who continue to produce sperms throughout their life, women’s ovary can produce only a fixed number of eggs. About 300 eggs are released during the woman’s lifetime and some of the eggs get degenerated in later ages. Healthy eggs are released at the young age of the women. As with the growing age, eggs released from women are the least healthy which may not form into a baby. But science reduces the risk up to much extent by proper care and consultation to overcome this problem. But there can be some problems with some ladies in late delivery. These are like:

1. Women have to go through too much of pain during delivery. Because chances of having normal delivery decreases. Women have to go for surgery for giving birth to a baby.

2. Due to the less healthy eggs released by women’s ovary, fertility levels drop after 35 and difficulties arise at the time of conceiving.

3. The risk of miscarriage increases due the fertility rate drop at the age of 30-40 dramatically. In a normal delivery, egg moves to the uterus from the Fallopian tube. But at the later age fertilized egg stays in the Fallopian tube and it starts to implant outside the uterus. This issue increases the miscarriage in the later stage. This risk is known as ectopic pregnancy.

4. Health problems for women over 35 include gestational diabetes and hypertension, as well as endometriosis and fibroids. This creates a problem in the late pregnancy.

5. Danger factor for mother increases. Because late delivery or any misconception can put them in danger, which may be fatal.
