Hello Everyone
Today I am going to discuss few facts on Risk & Advantages of  late Pregnancy .

What are the risk when a lady in her 40's is planning to have a baby.





Risk associated with late Pregnancy :
Researchers have found that women around the age of 40 have a 25 % chance of getting pregnant using their  own eggs . Although the number is hardly encouraging , getting pregnant in your 40's isn't entirely impossible either . There is no reason to lose hope . You will need a well equipped medical facility and an experienced  gynecologist in Bangalore. You will also need to set your expectations right . Here are some of the downside of  late pregnancy .

1. Getting  Pregnant  becomes more difficult
As you age , it  becomes harder to get pregnant .
This is because rate of egg supply decreases as you age .
Older eggs are less likely to get fertilized and more likely to develop chromosomal problems .
As a result there are chances of  miscarriage  and birth defects  in child .
Some of the leading  gynecologist in Bangalore  advice artificial fertilization techniques like IVF  for assured pregnancy at this age .

2. Problems during Pregnancy
Once you achieve pregnancy either  naturally or artificially, you may develop certain  health  problems. This could be diabetes or high blood pressure . How ever , such conditions lasts only during pregnancy and you may be fine after delivery .

3. Low birth weight

This could be avoided with the right diet  and following doctor's suggestion .
In some cases babies born to older mothers need to be kept in incubator  for a few weeks for complete  growth and development .

Advantages  of  Late  Pregnancy
While there are risks, there are also certain advantages of  having children late .
If you are already 40 and planning on having a baby do remember to focus on the positives.
For instance , You are more mature then you were at younger age .
You are also probably well settled in your carrier and more financially secure than earlier.
Most importantly you know your partner for longer and have had the time to form a deeper understanding . You'd be able to make better choices for your child as he/she grows .
