Many women are interested in the question of pregnancy in 40 years and how dangerous is it?
Qualified specialists consider the most optimal and safe age for conceiving a child, is a period of 20 to 24 years. But in this period not many women are ready to take the responsibility to become a mother. Some women, whose childhood was 50-60-ies of the last century during this period, felt like teenagers, and not a full-fledged woman. This change in the mind of a woman means that women reach emotional maturity only 10 years after reaching the peak of puberty. To date, it can be said with certainty that the woman who first became pregnant at the age of 35 is not at risk.
Scientists claim that a woman who has maintained good physical health by the age of 40, if she has not had miscarriages and is not a barren woman, then she has a high probability that the future child will be healthy, like a woman giving birth at the age of 20.
Pregnancy at the age of 40 can not be completely safe and perfect, but the risk is not so great as women think about it, and in most cases the risk can be minimized. At this age, there is a risk of problems associated with fibroids and endometriosis.
However, all these risks can be minimized if you plan a future pregnancy, prepare a normal physical form, do fitness or gymnastics, etc.
During the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, the baby's future forms all the basic organs. Qualified specialists believe that it is during this period of time that the future child is the most vulnerable and if during this period the pregnant woman will eat properly, do not take alcoholic beverages, do not smoke, practice gymnastics, take a complex of vitamins necessary for expectant mothers, then the chances the course of normal pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child will increase several times. But it should be remembered that there are a number of contraindications in medical gymnastics.
If a woman correctly assesses the degree of risk, it will greatly help a woman at the age of 40 reduce stress, which can lead to complications during childbirth. If a pregnant woman constantly thinks that she is ill or is going to get sick, then she can actually get sick, because strong emotions can provoke biochemical changes in our body. If a woman at the age of forty first decided to give birth to a child, then if the first signs of pregnancy development problems appear, she should immediately consult a doctor.
There are a number of benefits of pregnancy in later life. Women who decided to become a mother are the most prepared for pregnancy, childbirth and raising a baby.
There is also scientific evidence that women of adulthood are not subject to mental ambivalence during pregnancy and very rarely face internal conflicts. In the course of forty years, women become more disciplined and their life becomes orderly.
