As women age, particularly after 35, fertility begins to decline due to a decrease in the quantity and quality of eggs. Pregnancy after 35 also carries higher risks, such as increased chances of miscarriage, chromosomal abnormalities, and complications like gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. However, many women over 35 have healthy pregnancies. Regular prenatal care, a healthy lifestyle, and medical guidance are crucial for a safe pregnancy.

Increased Risks and Considerations
   1. Miscarriage and Chromosomal Abnormalities: The risk of miscarriage and chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, increases with age.
   2. Health Complications: Women over 35 are at a higher risk for gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and high blood pressure, which can affect both mother and baby.
   3. Multiple Pregnancies: The likelihood of having twins or higher-order multiples increases with age, especially with fertility treatments, which come with their own set of risks and complications.
   4. Labor and Delivery: Older mothers may face challenges during labor and delivery, such as a higher likelihood of preterm birth and the need for cesarean delivery.

Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy
   1. Prenatal Care: Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider are essential for monitoring the health of both mother and baby.
   2. Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a balanced diet, engage in regular physical activity, avoid smoking and alcohol, and manage stress.
   3. Medical Guidance: Follow your healthcare provider’s advice on managing existing health conditions and taking prenatal vitamins.
