After the age of 40, women's fertility is still low, it is difficult to get pregnant naturally, and when there are problems in pregnancy, miscarriage increases.

After 35 years of age, if you become pregnant, you should have a thorough and regular antenatal check-up to screen for abnormalities in the fetus, if any.
Furthermore, women over the age of 35 have a reduced chance of becoming pregnant compared with those under the age of 30.
