Family planning may take a little time for some couples and especially for couples married in their late 20s. So, conceiving for these women happens in the early 30s or mid-30s. As a matter of fact, there might arise a question in young couple’s minds whether conceiving in their 30s is safe or not? Well, there might be several difficulties related to late pregnancies but the mother’s health is what matters. To put it differently, if the mother is healthy, in most cases the newborn also stays healthy and faces fewer difficulties.

RISKS:

STAY HEALTHY DAD!

Sometimes the father is also responsible for unhealthy newborns. If the father is a chain smoker or a heavy drinker then in many cases the newborn might be unhealthy. Studies found that fathers-to-be increase the risk of congenital heart diseases in their offspring, so it is preferable for these fathers to quit smoking.

WOMEN IN 30S, AGE MATTERS:

A couple who want to conceive in their early 30s is always advised to consult a doctor before conceiving. It is because when a woman reaches their 30s, they tend to have many changes physically as well as emotionally.

A mother’s age is a factor and plays the main role in pregnancy, as her age increases. She may be prone to many abnormalities regarding pregnancy. A women’s age is responsible for a baby born with down syndrome as the risk rises from 1 in 1250 at the age of 25 to 1 in 100 at the age of 35.

There increases the risk of chromosome problems which might lead to miscarriage sometimes. In most of the cases, the mother faces miscarriage due to chromosomes that did not replicate properly. This naturally happens in the first trimester. The mother has to keep herself in a proper diet and should follow certain medications prescribed by the doctor.

GIVE A HEALTHY BIRTH:

Studies prove that women in the 30s who gave Cesarean section birth to their babies were four times more likely to have complications than mothers who gave vaginal birth. Mothers 35 or older who had Cesarean sections without first going into labor were five times more likely to have severe complications than the mothers who gave vaginal birth. So, according to WHO, Cesarean birth should only be operated in the time of high-risk factors regarding the baby and the mother, the rate should be 10 to 15 percent. But nowadays, most of the couples prefer Cesarean births as it is less painful for mothers due to a high dose of anesthesia. Mothers above 30 years of age may develop risks in their labor time, but vaginal birth is more preferable and natural.
