Pregnancy is a necessary experience for most women in their lifetime. Under normal circumstances, women are more suitable for childbirth between the ages of 20 and 40. If a woman becomes pregnant after the age of 40, she is already considered an elderly mother and needs to pay extra attention in her daily life. So, what are the dangers of pregnancy for older women?
If an older woman is pregnant, the following points should be noted. Some women experience a gradual decline in various bodily functions and reproductive abilities as they age, and the quality of their eggs also decreases. Therefore, elderly mothers are very prone to the risk of miscarriage. As women age, their immune system gradually declines, and various gynecological diseases can lead to miscarriage of the fetus. Secondly, elderly mothers are very prone to giving birth to malformed infants.
Mainly due to the gradual introduction of income age, eggs are easily damaged and contaminated by the external environment, resulting in chromosomal abnormalities in eggs, and older mothers are prone to giving birth to malformed infants. Again, elderly mothers are likely to suffer from pregnancy complications during pregnancy. For example, heart disease, hypertension, and kidney diseases can have serious consequences for both the fetus in the womb and the pregnant woman herself. Older mothers may have a slower recovery rate after childbirth and require a longer recovery time.
