I am 43 years old and i am 4 weeks pregnant.i read that a lot of risks are involved in late pregnancies. what kind of precautions can i take?

AMA: You are what we call advanced maternal age and yes there are some risks. Make sure you are taking a prenatal vitamin with at least 1,000mcg of folate, (folic acid) consider having early genetic evaluation like a cell free DNA test, and eat as healthy as possible. If you have conditions like hypertension or diabetes, get in to see your OB very soon.
