In their caption, they wrote that “The Boys” had arrived and that life already felt more beautiful than they had imagined. The couple, who met on the sets of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and married in July 2016 in Bhopal, had announced the pregnancy earlier this year after nearly 10 years of marriage.
Their news has also opened up an important conversation around pregnancy after 40, as Divyanka is 41, for those planning parenthood later in life.
Is Pregnancy After 40 Possible?
Yes, pregnancy after 40 is possible, and many women go on to have healthy pregnancies with the right medical guidance. However, it may need more planning because fertility naturally declines with age. After 40, the number and quality of eggs reduce, which can make natural conception more difficult.For some women, assisted reproductive treatments such as IVF may be considered. However, success rates with one’s own eggs are lower after 40, while donor eggs may improve the chances in certain cases.
What Are The Risks Of Pregnancy After 40?
Pregnancy after 40 can be rewarding, but it may carry higher risks than pregnancy at a younger age. These may include:- Miscarriage: The risk increases with age, often due to chromosomal changes in the embryo.
- Chromosomal Conditions: The chances of conditions such as Down syndrome are higher after 40.
- Gestational Diabetes: Blood sugar levels may need closer monitoring.
- Preeclampsia: High blood pressure during pregnancy may require medical care.
- Placenta-Related Concerns: Conditions such as placenta previa may need extra supervision.
- Delivery Challenges: Caesarean delivery may be more common in pregnancies after 40.
How Can Women Prepare For Pregnancy After 40?
Planning before pregnancy can help improve safety and confidence. Women considering pregnancy after 40 may benefit from:- Preconception Counselling: To assess fertility, hormone levels and overall health.
- Early Prenatal Care: To monitor the pregnancy from the beginning.
- Genetic Screening: Tests such as NIPT may help identify chromosomal risks.
- Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Balanced meals, movement, stress control and avoiding smoking or alcohol may support pregnancy health.
- Specialist Care: A high-risk pregnancy specialist may be advised in some cases.
