Im 34 and planning for first baby soon. Few people keep saying after a certain age it becomes high risk and now im a bit worried. From what age does it actually count? Want to know before i start.
Usually it's 35+, but honestly, being pregnant with twins made me high risk even in my 20s! Age is just a number, what really matters is how well you follow your doctor's advice and take care of your body.
Normally, doctors flag age 35+ as high risk, which means they might recommend more frequent scans and blood tests. Just plan your budget practically because high-risk pregnancies can sometimes increase your overall delivery and test costs at the hospital.
Yes, generally 35 and above is termed high risk. I had my baby at 36 via C-section, and although we had to take extra precautions, the delivery and recovery went very smoothly. Just stay positive and take proper rest.
Usually, doctors consider age 35 and above as high risk, but my mother says back then women delivered healthy babies even at later ages. It's always best to trust your doctor and get all the suggested scans done on time to keep yourself relaxed.
Oh, I am 36 and currently in my 6th month, so I guess I fall into this category! Are there any other moms here who conceived after 35? It would be so comforting to hear your experiences.
Medically, 35 and above is considered high risk because of potential complications. Just like managing thyroid with regular blood tests, a high-risk pregnancy simply means you need closer monitoring by your gynac. Regular checkups are the key to a safe delivery.
After 35, the risk of gestational diabetes and high BP increases, which makes it high risk. I was 37 when I conceived, so I had to be very strict with my diet and sugar testing, but with proper care, everything went fine.
