What risks does an older age of the mother bring for the health of the child?
A study was conducted at the fertility centre we work closely with. They collected statistics on the health of newborns whose mothers were over 40. Unfortunately, they are not as good as those of young obstetric patients.
But medicine is making progress, and I keep saying that thorough examinations carried out by professionals before and during pregnancy certainly minimise the risks. J
very time a patient comes to me for an ultrasound examination, I personally examine the child's organs, check the condition of the placenta and blood vessels and monitor all the parameters. And I do this regularly, from the 20th week, while many doctors do not.
