I’d like to give you something to consider. First and foremost, realize that any pregnancy at age 35 and older is considered high risk. If you have never carried a baby to term and delivered a child, getting pregnant at 35 or older is an additional high risk factor in the equation.
You have a limited number of eggs. The longer you wait, the older the eggs become and the higher the potential for a non-viable egg and miscarriage, spontaneous abortion or Downs Syndrome or other issues. The longer you wait, the more potential for problems and the smaller the window for a viable pregnancy.
Let’s just say you are 30 years old. Suppose you try to get pregnant when you are 31 and it takes six months or longer to get pregnant. (The window each month to get pregnant is about 24 hours.) Suppose that three months into the pregnancy you lose the baby. Emotionally and physically you wait a few more months to try to get pregnant again. Now you are nearing 32. The cycle starts all over again with you trying to get pregnant.
If you discover you or your partner have fertility problems in this example; then this is another roadblock in the path to being a parent. I think it is important to realized these things I mentioned.
When, and if, you decide that you are ready to have a baby; have a physical and let your doctor know your plans. Most physicians will provide you with good advice on getting pregnant, what to eat and what to avoid and hopefull they will get you started on prenatal vitamins before you get pregnant.
