Is it a myth or A fact that after a certain age females start having complications delivering a child? ?

ask a dr.

yes, it's true, but there is no hard and fast age limit. It depends on one's personal health, one's lifestyle, the age menstruation began, among other things.

roughly, any pregnancy where the mother is over 35 is treated as a high risk pregnancy.

it really depends on how healthy the woman is. I've seen fit 45 year old women have healthy babies, and I've seen 20 year old women with health problems have unhealthy babies. It is a proven fact that after the age of 40 a woman's chance of having a Downs Syndrome baby increases, you can Google the fact, I'm not sure of the exact percentage. It also has to do with if diseases like Downs runs in your family and things like that. Usually doctors consider a woman to be a high risk pregnancy if she's over 40.

It depends on the woman. Some women can have babies up till their 40's and MAYBE 50's. It's all about how that woman's body can handle carrying a child. Most of the nourishment that your body needs at those higher ages would go to the developing child and it can kill the mother. Not to mention the problems it can have on the child before/after birth. Developmental problems and such.

I've read a dozen of pregnancy books within the last few months and all say that at age 35 pregnancy risks and complications start to increase. Age 35 and beyond is considered AMA (advanced maternal age) and automatically places the woman in a high risk pregnancy.

i cant really think of a perfect age. after having my son quite young (20) i sometimes wish i had experienced life abit more, but then theres plenty of time for that when hes grown up. i'd say the best time in my eyes is when you know you are ready, not think, know! when you have a secure future, financially secure a good home and a wonderful partner. these things dont seem to exist anymore though and people just bring children into the world to claim benefits!! anyway, i'd say 25 :)

Well, more and more women are having children later, so I expect that more data will soon make this more clear. I had my baby at 35 and I was considered high risk simply because of my age. The birth and delivery did not actually go all that smoothly and my son was born prematurely, though everything's fine now. However that was just my personal experience.

Doctors say that it is afer to have babies between the ages of 20-35, anytime after that certain complications are more likely...however, I have known 5 or 6 women over 40 that have given birth to healthy babies with little or no complication.

This is a fact women after 40 start to have complications because their bodies are not strong enough anymore to bare a child.

The age of 35 -- that's when it gets more complicated. The risks are higher and not at just delivering a child -- it's more of an overall -- risks on having an abnormal baby, risks on carrying to term, etc.

i don't know if there is an exact age, but having children past about the age of 40 shows an increase in complications.
