A lot of women are surely thinking what should be the right age to get pregnant. Probably, the answer lies behind the word "destiny." But in terms of science, at what age really does a woman should get pregnant?
Some say if you get pregnant too early or too late, your risk of different health conditions gets higher. Here, we will find out what is the best age range for women to get pregnant.
According to Parenting page, there is no specific age when to start your own family or when to have a child. The only difference is the advantages and disadvantages you have at the age you get pregnant. (Assuming that all women thinking about this matter are all ready to start a family.)
Getting pregnant in your early 20s (20-24)
The good thing is early 20s are the most fertile years of a woman. They can get pregnant easily because they mostly have regular periods at this age. The risk here is young women are likely to get gestational diabetes during pregnancy than those older women nearing 40s. Getting pregnant at this age range may lessen their chances in career advancements because of getting more responsibility as a mother according to Baby Center.
Late 20s (25-29)
At this age range, if you are a woman who has a regular exercise habit, you can deliver your baby easily. Most women at this age can still get back in shape after giving birth. At this mature age, you will have a better relationship with your partner as parents compared to conceiving in early 20s. Women bear healthier babies at this age.
Early 30s (30-34)
It is widely known that when you reach 30, your fertility starts to decline gradually. There is a study saying that women at this age range have higher rate of getting a C-section delivery according to Parenting page. Women at this age range bear healthy babies too.
Late 30s (35-39)
As the body age, the eggs also ages making it harder to fertilize. Mostly women at this age are already seeking infertility treatment. The risk of getting hypertension and high blood pressure increases when pregnant at this age range. Getting a C-section is twice higher than in early 30s. There are chances that women at this age will bear twin children because more eggs are produced when taking fertility pills.
Pregnancy over 40s.
Most women at this age are very ready to become a mother because of financial stability and more experience. They are wiser and are very effective in their motherhood. The problem here is that they have a hard time in getting pregnant. The baby they will bear at this age will likely get abnormalities. You are in high chances of delivering a premature baby.
