How old is considered advanced maternal age?

When giving birth, women over 35 years old are considered older mothers. Those giving birth for the first time are called older primiparas, and those giving birth for the second or more children are called older multiparas. Older mothers have many complications, for example, many of them will develop gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, etc. Therefore, older women should be more diligent during prenatal checkups. Older pregnant women do not need to undergo Down syndrome screening. It is recommended that patients undergo amniocentesis immediately because the chance of older pregnant women giving birth to a deformed fetus is greater than that of non-old pregnant women.

Older mothers refer to those who are over 35 years old and are pregnant for the first time. They are considered to have high-risk pregnancies, so the management methods during pregnancy and delivery should be improved.

Generally speaking, because women's bodies are in a declining trend after the age of 35, older mothers are more likely to have premature babies and delayed fetal development in the uterus, and the risk of complications for older mothers is also relatively increased. The main manifestations include premature babies or full-term babies with a weight lower than the same gestational age, fetal death of unknown cause, gestational hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, intrauterine language delay of the fetus, and congenital malformation rates are also relatively increased.

Older mothers refer to women who are over 35 years old. The best growth period for women is between 23 and 30 years old. 30 to 35 years old is the second best childbearing age. Women over 35 years old are considered older mothers. If a woman becomes pregnant before the age of 35, her urinary system has already fully developed, and she is full of energy and vitality. The probability of high blood pressure, high blood lipids or high blood sugar during pregnancy is relatively small.

The quality of women's eggs before the age of 35 is relatively high, and the probability of miscarriage or chromosomal abnormalities is relatively low. Pregnancy over the age of 35 is generally considered to be an older mother. After this age, women's health declines, and they are more likely to suffer from gestational hypertension or gestational diabetes during pregnancy. The quality of women's eggs declines, and there is a high possibility of chromosomal abnormalities after pregnancy. It is recommended that older pregnant women have regular prenatal checkups, pay attention to moderate activities, and handle any abnormalities properly.
