Can an older women give birth with health problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to confer OB: Many older women have gone through successful pregnancies. The risk to mom or baby is a complex blend of issues. If mom is on meds, would they be toxic to baby? If mom has heart or other issues, would pregnancy be risky for her? Such questions are best left to a discussion you have with an OB after a review of all the facts.
