Gynaecologists state that the most secure age for getting pregnant remains from 20 to 35. Some of the facts stated by medical experts are as follows.

Medical experts are of the opinion that women are likely to have more complications like preeclampsia, miscarriage, stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy, etc if they plan to conceive beyond the age of 35 years.

The fertility of the eggs also begins to decline beyond the age of 30 years, thus, making conceiving difficult at times. In case you are planning for multiple pregnancies, the ideal route is to have your first child in the early or mid 20s and have the next child in your late 20s or early 30s.

With the shift in focus towards the career, women are embracing the idea of pregnancy beyond the age of 30. Here are a few straight facts that can help you decide the perfect age for pregnancy as per the priorities of your life.

The age between 20 to 24 years is the most fertile period for the women. However, women might not have the emotional preparedness to handle the responsibilities of pregnancy. If a woman maintains a healthy lifestyle and eats well, then the age of 25 to 29 years is ideal for pregnancy as the body is capable of handling the pregnancy well and the woman has the emotional maturity to deal with the responsibilities of a baby.

For career-oriented women, the age of early 30s is also apt for having a pregnancy. Pregnancy during late 30s and early 40s has a higher probability of facing hurdles like gestational diabetes and hypertension. Gestational diabetes becomes a serious concern among women above the age of 35 years due to the weight that the body of the women would have gained during the last few years.

The fertility is the lowest in the 40s and it might be difficult to juggle between a high level career role in pregnancy. At the same time, for working women maintaining a fitness level is very important.

If you plan for a child beyond 40, one of the major issues that you are likely to face in this scenario is that of becoming overly tired. So, take a decision about pregnancy as per your convenience and comfort levels. Steer your life in the direction in which you feel you will be the happiest.
