Show Notes
More women are delaying motherhood, with 21% of U.S. births in 2023 to moms aged 35 and up, double the 9% in 1990. While advanced maternal age increases risks like high blood pressure, obesity, C-sections, twins, and genetic issues, overall odds remain low. Doctors emphasize preconception health, including balanced diet, exercise, no smoking, and managing chronic conditions. Regular checkups, early ultrasounds, and tests like amniocentesis monitor for potential issues. Despite higher C-section rates, many older moms deliver healthy babies with proper preparation and care. Experts stress that with smart planning and close monitoring, older moms can have successful pregnancies and recover well.
