Motherhood is a journey and not the destination. Each and every woman has her own journey and timing to embrace this gift of life. There has been a major shift in trends of adopting motherhood, with more women in their 30s opting for motherhood than ever recorded in history.
An overall drop has been recorded in women embracing motherhood in their twenties.With an overall shift in attitudes of motherhood, there is a shift in timing and health conditions of the expecting mothers.
Pregnancy is the gestation period for humans. The time during which the baby grows inside the mother’s womb. It usually lasts close to 40 weeks, on average in most cases. With advanced age, the body starts to lose its health and vigor which may be needed to support a healthy pregnancy. A pregnancy planned later in life during 30s or early 40s means lowered chances of conception too. With advanced age, there are associated health conditions too. Physical and mental stress also play a major role in the overall health of the expecting mother and child. Studies have shown, advanced age of conceiving implies a lowered sperm quality and that contributes to how well the fetus implants in the body and how healthy the pregnancy will be. If the fetus is not firmly implanted in the body of the mother, the chances of miscarriage go up.

Planning a pregnancy
The female body has a periodic cycle of egg cells being released from the body and therefore, a particular phase of fertility every month. Usually, this phase comes around the second week after the period cycle when a new cell matures and is released by the ovaries. Planning a pregnancy requires tracking the cycles to increase the chances of natural conception.
Genetic Screening
If a woman decides to embrace motherhood after 35 years of age, it is considered advanced maternal age. Advanced maternal age is one of the risk factors for genetic defects. A prior miscarriage adds to the overall risk. Your doctor would recommend a thorough genetic screening for you and your partner to test for any possible genetic abnormalities. Your doctor would assess your genetic tests and your partner’s and based on the results advise you on the way forward with your journey of pregnancy and care to ensure the best support.
Nutrition and Care
Women who have experienced a miscarriage in the past may be suffering from health conditions or general nutritional deficiencies which prevent support of pregnancies. It is important to get a thorough examination of health parameters done to ensure optimum health before planning to conceive to ensure the best of health.
Multiple Pregnancy
With age, the hormones in the body change and thus, so do the fluctuations. Women in their mid-thirties have a higher probability of conceiving twins or multiple pregnancies. This multiplied blessing can prove to be detrimental to the health of the mother and the child. This could be another reason for miscarriage, as the fetus competes for nutrition and space inside the womb. Thorough care is required to ensure the well-being of the unborn and the mother in case of such pregnancies.
No Stress
Pregnancy brings a mixed bag of hormonal changes, body changes and mood swings for the expectant mother. The shift in overall hormones and blood work during pregnancy has a great impact on the emotional and mental health of the person. Women go through a myriad of emotional ups and downs throughout their pregnancy and thus may experience stress too. Family support and care is vital during this phase.
