Im 35 and the doc casually used this word in my report, sounded a bit scary honestly. Just want to understand what it actually means. Anyone here in same boat?
Arre, ye term thoda daraona lagta hai, ho na? But simple bhasha mein jab pregnancy 35 age ke baad hoti hai toh doctor use geriatric bolte hain. Aaj kal toh sab late hi pregnancy plan karte hain, so tension bilkul mat lo haan na.
I totally get why this word is making you feel anxious, it made my heart sink too! But please know it's just a fancy medical word for expecting at age 35+. Take a deep breath, stop googling, and discuss all your worries openly with your doctor.
Since geriatric pregnancy (conceiving at 35+) has some higher risks of BP or gestational issues, it's very important to be careful. I had a few complications during my late pregnancy, so I highly recommend choosing an experienced gynac who can monitor you closely from day one.
It just means pregnancy at age 35 or above! 🌟 It sounds super old-fashioned, but so many women have perfectly healthy babies at this age nowadays. Just stay happy and keep up with your scans! 🥰👶
Listen to me, don't let this outdated term scare you at all. It's just a clinical label used for pregnancies at age 35 and above. With proper care, good nutrition, and your doctor's guidance, you can have an absolutely healthy and beautiful pregnancy.
Many of us who go through IVF are in this age group of 35 and above, which doctors label as geriatric. It just means we need a little extra medical care and monitoring during our pregnancy. Please don't let the term discourage you, your journey is beautiful and very common.
Being pregnant at 35+ means your body might need a bit more tracking, especially for things like thyroid or sugar. I had thyroid issues during mine, so my doctor made sure I had regular blood tests. Just do your follow-ups diligently and you will be completely fine.
I had my baby at 36, and when I first saw 'geriatric' on my files, I felt so hurt and old. But the moment I held my healthy baby boy, all those silly labels just melted away. You are strong, capable, and your age is just a number in this beautiful journey.
Haha, 'geriatric' makes it sound like we belong in a retirement home at 35! It just means being pregnant after 35, which is honestly the new normal. Trust me, whether you are 22 or 37, the sleepless nights with a newborn will make you feel 80 anyway!
