What is the age of an elderly mother ?

Women over the age of 35 are considered advanced mothers

As an animal, humans also have a suitable reproductive age, and once they pass the critical point, unnecessary troubles will arise. The change in social attitudes has led to a continuous delay in the age of women's first childbirth.

Zheng Zheng, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said that over 35 years old, pregnant women are considered as elderly pregnant women. As women age, they may experience a series of uncertain symptoms due to pregnancy.

The older the pregnant woman is, the higher the risk of pregnancy complications such as pregnancy diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome, cholestasis syndrome will rise. As a result, the risk of early termination of pregnancy and iatrogenic premature delivery will increase, and the probability of cesarean section will also increase.

Older women who want to get pregnant must be fully prepared beforehand. In addition to checking heart, lung, liver, and kidney function, blood sugar, blood lipids, thyroid function, etc. should also be checked.

The biggest danger for elderly mothers lies in their children

Older pregnant women not only pose a threat to their own health, but also seriously threaten the health of the fetus. The risk of genetic metabolic diseases increases with the age of pregnant women, leading to an increased likelihood of developing the disease.

As age increases, the quality of eggs decreases, leading to a sharp increase in the risk of congenital diseases. Pregnancy at the age of 35 is three times higher than pregnancy at the age of 25.
