A member asked:
Are there more health risks if a woman never had a child, or more risks if she had one or more children?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends more on age: In general, health risks are more related to age and patients general health rather the the number of children she has had until she exceeds 5 deliveries. Certain problems such as pre-eclamsia are more common in women having their first child especially at the upper and lower limits of age.
