Risks of pregnancy after 30
Though Kim and Kanye are keen to have a second baby, there are a few risk factors involved in a pregnancy after 30. Here are a few of them:
Conceiving is delayed as the egg production in a woman's body reduces once she enters her 30s.
Risk of a miscarriage is also higher in women above the age of 30 due to several hormonal changes.
During the second trimester, problems such as diabetes, high BP and thyroid can crop up so it is important to be very careful of your health.
These factors can also lead to a premature delivery.
Most of the times, you may have to undergo a C-section if there are problems during labour.
The newborn is also at a health risk if it is a late pregnancy. Such babies are prone to having genetic abnormalities such as Down's Syndrome.
We advise the couple to get all their medical tests done before they try conceiving again. Also read - 35 tips to get pregnant after 35.
