Planning for my second baccha and im 37 now. Everyone keeps saying age ke baad complications zyada hote hai which is giving me tension. Anyone here who conceived around this age, how was it for u?
Currently 34 weeks and my back is screaming, but honestly age has nothing to do with it, pregnancy is tiring anyway! Don't stress too much about the "advanced maternal age" tag, we are stronger than we think. Just waiting to get this baby out now!
It is better to be a bit careful and strictly follow whatever the doc says. I had some high BP issues during my pregnancy at 35, so regular monitoring is very important. Always keep your gynac in loop about even small changes.
I delivered at 37 and honestly, the real risk is the sleepless nights now, not the age! Just joking, but seriously my pregnancy went absolutely fine. Just eat well and prepare for the post-delivery marathon haha.
Practically speaking, they might suggest some extra scans and blood tests like double marker because of age, which can cost a bit more. Better to plan your maternity package and budget early so there are no surprises later. But health wise, you will be totally fine.
I am 36 and currently in my 18th week, sometimes I get so anxious reading about age risks online. Did your doctor suggest any extra tests because of age? I really hope everything goes smoothly for us.
Age is just one factor, honestly. Many women in my circle have delivered healthy babies at 38 and 39 without issues. Just stay regular with your gynac checkups and follow their specific advice.
Oh I can totally relate to this tension, I used to check every single symptom on apps. But trust me, so many moms deliver healthy babies at 37 now. Just try to stay positive and avoid reading scary things on Google, stay happy!
