Does childbirth at the age of 35 increase the risk of miscarriage?

In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and the increase of education, many couples choose to marry later and have children later, especially women, who will not consider having children until their careers and economies are stable. However, with the increase of age, the risks faced by women in childbirth also increase. Some studies have pointed out that women who give birth at the age of 35 face a higher risk of miscarriage. This article will elaborate on whether 35 year old childbirth increases the risk of abortion from four aspects: age and reproductive capacity, physical condition, chromosome abnormalities, and intrauterine environment.

Age and fertility

With the increase of age, the female reproductive capacity gradually decreases. This is because the number and quality of female eggs will decrease and decline with the increase of age. After the age of 35, the quality of female eggs began to decline rapidly, affecting the normal development of fertilized eggs and embryos. Research shows that women over 35 years old have a higher risk of gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension and other pregnancy related diseases, which may lead to abortion.

In addition, women over 35 years old may have problems with their ovulation function, which may lead to ovulation difficulties or irregular ovulation, thus affecting pregnancy. This makes women over 35 years old face more difficulties and setbacks in the process of pregnancy, increasing the risk of miscarriage.

Physical condition

In addition to age, women over 35 may also have some chronic diseases or health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, thyroid problems, etc. These chronic diseases may have a negative impact on pregnancy and the process of pregnancy, increasing the risk of miscarriage. In addition, women over 35 years old may be more likely to suffer from infections, inflammation and other diseases, which will also increase the risk of miscarriage.

In addition, women's physical recovery ability will also decline after the age of 35, and the burden of pregnancy and pregnancy on the body may also be greater. This has brought more physiological and psychological pressure to women over 35 years old, further increasing the possibility of abortion.

Chromosomal abnormality

The risk of chromosomal abnormalities in female eggs increases with age. Fertilized eggs with suspended chromosome abnormalities are easy to cause embryo termination or early abortion. Especially after the age of 35, the risk of chromosomal abnormalities increases significantly, which may be due to the uneven separation of chromosomes caused by the decline of egg quality. Therefore, women over 35 years old are more vulnerable to chromosomal abnormalities than young women in terms of the risk of abortion.

Intrauterine environment

Women over 35 years old are often accompanied by endometrial aging and decline of uterine muscle function due to the increase of age. This may lead to abnormal shape of uterine cavity, dysfunction of uterine gland and unsuitable intrauterine environment, thus increasing the difficulty of embryo implantation and the risk of abortion.

To sum up, women who give birth at the age of 35 face a higher risk of abortion than young women. The decline in age and reproductive capacity, changes in physical conditions, chromosomal abnormalities, and unsuitable intrauterine environment are all reasons for the increased risk of abortion. Therefore, for women over 35 years old, if family planning, it is recommended to carry out a comprehensive physical examination and consultation in advance, and seek the advice and guidance of doctors to reduce the risk of abortion.
