Pregnancy over the age of 35 is often referred to as “advanced maternal age.” While many women in this age group have healthy pregnancies, there are some important factors to consider. Women over 35 may face a higher risk of complications such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, chromosomal abnormalities (like Down syndrome), and difficulty conceiving. It’s important to have regular prenatal checkups and screenings to monitor both the mother and baby’s health. Lifestyle choices, such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding stress, play a vital role in promoting a healthy pregnancy. With proper medical care, many women over 35 have successful pregnancies and healthy babies.
