Age is one of the factors that influences your success rate in getting pregnant. At productive age, your chances of getting pregnant are higher than when you were older. In terms of health and physical condition, a young age is also the ideal age for pregnancy.
Basically there is no age-specific standard for getting a pregnancy. However, generally a woman's fertility will decrease with age. In addition, pregnancy in old age is also at risk of causing complications in pregnant women. That is why getting pregnant at a young age is recommended.
Pregnant in Your 20s
The productive age referred to here is the age of 20 years. Biologically, this age is the right time to get pregnant because your fertility is very high and the egg cells produced are also very abundant. The risk of having a birth defect is also less because the quality of eggs produced at this age is generally still very good.
There are several other advantages to getting if you are pregnant at this age, including:
- The risk of miscarriage is much lower.
- The risk of disorders of the reproductive organs, such as uterine fibroids, is very low.
- The risk of experiencing health complications, such as high blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes, is lower.
- Giving birth prematurely or having a low birth weight baby at birth may be less common at this age.
- When children grow up, you can still look young.
Pregnant in Your 30s
When entering the age of 30 years, you must immediately plan a pregnancy because your fertility has begun to decline. Drastic decline occurred after you turned 35 years old. Therefore, do not delay having a baby, especially if you plan to have more than one child.
There are several risks that haunt you if you become pregnant in old age, namely:
- The risk of miscarriage and birth defects will be
- Pregnancy complications may also be experienced at this age.
- The opportunity to give birth normally tends to be smaller because pregnancy in old age more often experience fetal distress.
- Opening of the birth canal is slow, so usually having to undergo labor by cesarean section.
Usually women under the age of 35 only produce one egg per cycle. However, at the age of 35-39 years, you might be able to expel more than one egg so that you are more likely to have twins. This might be good news for you who want twins.
Pregnant in Your 40s and Above
Your ability to get pregnant naturally decreases sharply in your 40s. The chance that you have every month to get pregnant is only about 5%. This happens because the supply of eggs in the body is significantly reduced. The quality that an egg has is not as good as when you were young.
Egg cells at this age are more likely to have chromosome problems. In addition, the risk of miscarriage, having a baby with low birth weight, premature, or birth defects is also higher. You are also more at risk of complications during pregnancy such as high blood pressure, diabetes or problems with the placenta.
Readiness to have children in each woman is different. But from a biological point of view, women, in their 20s, are high-fertility ages. Likewise, the risk of having a birth defect is also lower in women who are pregnant in their 20s. You are advised to consult an obstetrician, if you are planning a pregnancy.
