The doctor sheds light on the following.
Is Pregnancy after 30-35 Risky?
Though pregnancy after 30-35 is not uncommon nowadays, many women deliver perfectly healthy babies. However, it is emphasised that certain risks do increase with age, but with timely evaluation, proper screening, and regular medical follow-ups, these risks can be managed with excellent outcomes.

How does fertility change after 30?
In the early thirties, your fertility is good
After 35, both the number and the egg quality start going down
This doesn’t mean pregnancy is impossible. It may mean you take a little longer and may need medical guidance.

Common Health Issues that are Monitored
Diabetes during pregnancy
Hypertension during pregnancy
Thyroid disorders
Miscarriage risks are also going to be slightly higher.
Chromosomal abnormalities like Down Syndrome also increase with age.
But again, these risks are manageable with timely screening for these issues

Essential Pre-pregnancy Tests
Hormonal evaluation, such as AMH
Thyroid profile,
Serum Prolactin levels
Vitamin D and B12 tests,
A routine ultrasound, and
Your partner’s semen analysis, if conception is delayed
A pre-conception consultation helps personalise this for each individual.

What are the essential pregnancy screenings after you conceive?
Once pregnancy is confirmed, key investigations include:
An early viability scan
NT Scan between 11 and 13 weeks
First Trimester Screening with a double/ Penta marker
NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) if required
Anomaly scan around 18 to 20 weeks
Screening for gestational diabetes between 24 and 28 weeks
These tests ensure early detection and a better pregnancy outcome.

Tips to increase your chances of conceiving
The doctor recommends simple yet powerful lifestyle tips
Health BMI
Healthy Diet
Exercise regularly
Manage Stress
Track your Ovulation
Avoid Smoking and Alcohol Consumption
Start Folic Acid Supplementation three months before planning pregnancy.
These small lifestyle changes can make a big difference in having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby
