When a woman becomes pregnant beyond the age of 35, she is considered an elderly pregnant woman. So during pregnancy, these pregnant women will face greater risks, such as being more susceptible to some pregnancy related diseases, and the possibility of fetal abnormalities will also increase. So, can a 38 year old woman still have a natural delivery for her first child?
Women who give birth to their first child at the age of 38 can also have a vaginal delivery, but this depends on the pregnant woman's physical condition. If the pregnant woman is in good physical condition during delivery and the fetus is not abnormal, she can choose vaginal delivery. If there are conditions such as fetal misalignment and insufficient labor force, it is necessary to undergo cesarean section surgery for delivery.
Pregnant women need to undergo detailed physical examinations before giving birth in order to understand the specific conditions of both the mother and the fetus. When women are pregnant, they need to regularly go to the hospital for check ups, pay attention to their diet, and engage in some physical exercise, which can increase the chances of vaginal delivery.
During the process of vaginal delivery, there may be some unexpected situations, such as weak uterine contractions during vaginal delivery, which should be promptly changed to cesarean section to avoid danger to the pregnant woman and fetus. In addition, during vaginal delivery, mothers can eat some chocolate, which can enhance their physical strength and be very helpful for vaginal delivery.
