The chances of conceiving naturally at age 49

With the opening up of the two-child policy, many families are considering having a second child, but many women do not have an age advantage. It is much more difficult for older women to conceive a child than other pregnant women, and they need to pay attention to many things in daily life. Let’s talk about what a 49-year-old pregnant woman undergoing artificial insemination needs to pay attention to!

What should a 49-year-old pregnant woman with artificial insemination pay attention to?

1. Prenatal diagnosis: Prenatal diagnosis is carried out in the early or middle stages of pregnancy. Generally, the levels of alpha-fetoprotein, free estriol and human chorionic gonadotropin in the pregnant woman's blood are checked. Combined with the pregnant woman's age, weeks of pregnancy, etc., the risk of pregnancy with Down syndrome and neural tube defects can be calculated. If the risk is high, prenatal examination should be performed. Amniocentesis can be performed to obtain amniotic fluid from the pregnant woman, or umbilical vein puncture can be performed to obtain umbilical cord blood to check the chromosome karyotype. In addition, B-ultrasound is also an important way to check the baby's development.

2. Sugar screening for pregnant women: Sugar screening should be carried out between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. If the sugar screening result is positive, a glucose tolerance test should be performed to detect gestational diabetes at an early stage. If there is diabetes in the family, parents or grandparents, sugar screening should be carried out during the first pregnancy check-up. This test is very important because older pregnant women are more likely to have diabetes or gestational diabetes.

3. Fetal monitoring: In the last month of pregnancy, older pregnant women need to pay attention to the fetal movement. If possible, fetal monitoring should be done once a week to understand the fetus's intrauterine health status.
