My aunt mentioned something about 'geriatric pregnancy' and it got me wondering. What age is generally considered to be a geriatric pregnancy? I'm just curious to know.
Beta, 35 years is the age when they start calling it that, but it is just a medical term. In our times, many women had healthy babies even in their late 30s. Just eat healthy, fresh home-cooked meals and keep your mind happy.
Medically, doctors call it a geriatric pregnancy if you are 35 or above. Honestly, don't worry about the term, so many women have healthy babies at this age. Just go for regular checkups and follow your doctor's advice.
I am 36 and planning to conceive soon, so this term used to scare me a lot too! But my doctor reassured me that age is just a number if your overall health is good. Are there any specific tests we should plan beforehand?
Yes, it is 35 years and above, but nowadays with good medical care, it is very common and manageable. Make sure you don't miss any of your recommended scans and take your supplements on time. You've got this!
