Therefore, expectant mothers should actively take preventive measures to maintain good health during pregnancy.

Mothers who give birth at a very old age may face greater risks of childbirth. Compared with young women, women over 35 years old are more likely to need cesarean section because of fetal growth and abnormal fetal position. Cesarean section is a high-risk operation, and it takes longer for the mother to recover.
At the same time, mothers who have given birth at a very old age may encounter some physical challenges in the process of postpartum recovery after childbirth. They may face a longer period of lochia, poor lactation, faster physical exertion and other problems. At this time, they need more rest and close cooperation with doctors to ensure full recovery.
3. Psychological pressure and social support

The increase of age may increase the uncertainty of natural pregnancy and worry about the future of children. In addition, the society's examination and evaluation of ultra old childbearing may also bring additional burdens to mothers.

Mothers can communicate with women of the same age or women with similar experiences to seek psychological support and experience sharing. In addition, they should also maintain good communication with their relatives, friends and doctors to obtain emotional support and professional advice.
4. Balance between happiness and health
Mothers who have given birth at an advanced age must make a balance between happiness and health. Although it may bring some physical risks and challenges, for some people, the joy of having a child and the happiness of their mother are irreplaceable.
Therefore, women who are planning to give birth at a very old age should have in-depth discussions and assessments with obstetricians and gynaecologists on the basis of fully understanding the risks and challenges, and consider their own physical and psychological conditions. At the same time, they should also actively take preventive measures and work closely with doctors to ensure the health of themselves and their babies.

The most important thing is that they should make reasonable choices according to their own personal circumstances and family aspirations to achieve their own happiness and satisfaction.
