Question 1

pregnant risks after age 30?

Accepted Answer

Average: Age alone is not considered a risk factor until 35.  Nevertheless your fertility is very gradually decreasing and the risk of miscarriage is gradually increasing.  Also, the older you are the more likely you are to have other health problems.

Question 2

could 48 year old get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Not unheard of: But very unusual. Women can potentially get pregnant as long as they ovulate. Women can get pregnant by in vitro fertilisation (ivf), carrying someone else's baby. Some older women have carried babies, after ivf, for other family members not able to do so.

Question 3

is it possible to get pregnant at 48 yrs?

Accepted Answer

That is close to the: Record books for natural pregnancy. It would be quite close to impossible by natural means. The risk to both mother & fetus would be quite high.

Question 4

what are risks to older women who are pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Numerous: Pregnancy changes the body in multiple ways. In a young indiviual , these changes generally are well adapted to, but can be taxing to some even at that age. An older pregnant woman may be at risk for a lot of things like, chromosomal abnormalities in the baby, diabetes, hypertension, preterm labor, to name a few. Although there may be increased complications, a normal pregnancy is still possible.

Question 5

if i am pregnant with multiples, how much higher risk for complications?

Accepted Answer

Significantly higher: Managing multiple gestations is a challenge for all concerned as complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension(pre-eclampsia) among others are rampant. Good OB care from the outset is tantamount and often in conjunction with a maternal fetal medicine sub-specialist.

Question 6

what kind of risk factors are there for the child when a teen is pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Complex question!: Infants of teens are at risk for preterm delivery, low birth-weight, and have higher rates of neonatal or infant death, and there are social &amp; behavioral outcomes that are related to teen pregnancy. However, this question deserves an answer that&#x27;s longer than a small blurb on a web page allows--if you&#x27;re a pregnant teen or know one, you should make an appt with your doc to talk about these risks.

Question 7

can you tell me how much weight should i lose for a safe no-risk pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Consult with DR: I don't think there is a no-risk pregnancy. Consult with your doctor about a healthy weight for your height.

Question 8

can u get pregnant on the bc patch if it is not all the way on for 48 hours?

Accepted Answer

Contraceptives: Absorption of the hormones may be affected and thus increase failure rate. It is possible to get pregnant if absorption was significantly affected.

Question 9

what are the risk to be pregnant after a woman past reach or pass the 36 years old?

Accepted Answer

A few : At age 36 you are at increased risk for a baby with a chromosome problem, like down syndrome.  You are also at increased risk for gestational diabetes and hypertensive complications.  But most women with pregnancies at age 36 have healthy pregnancies resulting in healthy babies.

Question 10

hi iam currently 5weeks pregnant bhtc high but hasn't doubled in 48 hours what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Beta HCG values: Beta HCG values should double every 48 to 72 hours at this stage in pregnancy. Since it has not done so could mean a normal pregnancy that is lagging in development, an ectopic pregnancy as yet undiscovered, or nothing at all. A re-check of the beta HCG and ultrasound is warranted.
