Pregnancy Complications After The Age Of 30 Every Woman Must Know
Having a baby and experiencing the joy of motherhood is the most wonderful feeling. But to make this feeling wonderful, it is necessary to conceive at the right time, or for that matter at the right age. Women these days are opting for pregancy when they have already entered their 30s. Late marriages, career and financial constraints are a few reasons behind this change. But, at times, getting pregnant post-30 can get a little complicated. Gynaecologists suggest that women might have to bear several complications when they conceive post-30, or may even face difficulty in conceiving. Therefore, it is always better to know about the risks involved. So, take a look at some of these complications.
Let's face it, fertility goes into a free fall post-30
The older you get, higher is the risk of a complicated pregnancy. A woman’s body goes through various physical and hormonal changes after the age of 30. And with each passing year, there is a decline in her fertility rate. As per fertility specialist, James Goldfarb, Director of infertility services and IVF at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, "There's a clear drop-off in fertility between ages 29 and 35, but the majority of 35-year-old women still won't have a problem. However, by 38 or 39, age becomes a big factor.”
The main reason behind this is that women in their 30s tend to ovulate less frequently, making conception harder than the women who ovulate regularly in their 20s. According to leading fertility specialist, Sherman Silber, “Overall, in your 30s you have only 15 per cent chance of getting pregnant in any single ovulation cycle.”
