Pregnancy Over 40

The number of first time births amongst women ages 40-44 is becoming increasingly common and has doubled in the last decade.

Advancements in technology surrounding fertility, pregnancy and delivery has allowed couples the chance to safely have a baby once they’re more financially and emotionally ready. Although it’s completely possible to have a baby later on in life, the risks associated may mean that your Obstetrician will want to keep a closer eye on you and baby throughout your pregnancy.

Some of these risks include:

• High blood pressure
• Gestational diabetes
• Ectopic pregnancy
• Small or large birth weight
