Besides the advantages, being pregnant at the age of 30 also has many points to think about. The first is the possibility of pregnancy at 30. Over time, the older a woman's gestational age, the less likely she is to become pregnant, and there is a marked difference between women who have just turned 30 and those who are closer to 40.
In the early 30s, the chance of getting pregnant declines only slightly compared to the late 20s, and the chances of miscarriage or having a baby with genetic disorders (such as Down syndrome) also increase only so much light.
When a woman reaches the age of 35, everything changes very quickly. The chances of getting pregnant are markedly reduced, and the risk of miscarriage, premature birth, genetic disorders and birth defects increases more rapidly.

At the age of 20, the rate of having a cesarean section is about 30%, but increases to 43% by the age of 35. The reason, pointed out by experts, is that as age increases, the risk of pregnancy problems also increases. increase (pregnancy failure, prolonged labor,...).
Everyone's ability to get pregnant is different, but in general, 35 years old is a milestone to keep in mind, especially for women who want to get pregnant more than once. The advice given is that if you want to get pregnant in your 30s, a woman should think and decide early, don't wait too long.

3. The possibility of a successful pregnancy at 30
Although after the age of 29 to 35 there is a marked decline in the ability to get pregnant, most women by the age of 35 have no problems. However, if you wait until the age of 38 or 39, the story will become much more serious.
In general, with each ovulatory cycle in the 30s a woman has a pregnancy rate of 15%, and in a year the pregnancy rate will be around 75%. Note that later in life, the chance of getting pregnant decreases, and will only be around 65% by the time a woman is in her final 30s.
Miscarriage rates increase slowly in the early 30s, after That increases rapidly in the mid and late 30s (18% at age 35 and increases to 34% in the early 40s).
Between the ages of 35 and 39 there is a special feature, that is, a woman is more likely to have a natural multiple pregnancy at 30 (usually twins). In each ovulatory cycle, usually only one egg matures. But as we age, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels increase, leading to the likelihood that more than one egg will mature and release (usually two). Therefore, although older women have a harder time getting pregnant than younger women, they have a higher chance of having multiples.
