older means high risk?

Question

Why are women 35+ high risk??? 😕😨

Answer

The risk factors increase as the body ages (I.e. high blood pressure/preeclampsia, pre term labor, miscarriage, still born, GD, chromosomal abnormalities etc.). Does not mean you can't have a healthy baby though.

Answer

Because they're older. And with age increases risks. Especially for things like defects and Down syndrome, amongst many other things.

Answer

There's a higher risk of babies born with Autism to women 35+. The older a woman is the more health risks she could have so being labeled high-risk has perinatologists monitoring mother and baby more efficiently.
