Getting pregnant after the age of 30 makes some serious complications including premature birth, Preeclampsia, birth defects, miscarriage, and multiples kids.
If you are older than 30 or 35, it is necessary for you to have prenatal
screening tests to see if your baby is at risk for certain birth defects. Women

As you get older and try to get
pregnant, you will definitely face certain health conditions that can bring
more complications before and during pregnancy. That is including:
High blood pressure
High blood pressure is otherwise known as hypertension, and it happens
when a powerful force of the blood is too high, and against the walls of your
blood vessels.
Gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes is one of the kinds of diabetes which some women
get only during their pregnancy time.
Pre-existing diabetes
Pre-existing diabetes means that you have too much blood sugar or
glucose in your blood. Too much glucose and blood sugar can really damage
organs in your body, including kidneys, eyes, vessels, and nerves. Pre-existing
diabetes is like you have diabetes before you get pregnant.
Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is the condition that occurs after the 5th month of
pregnancy or right after pregnancy. When a pregnant woman gets preeclampsia,
then she may have high blood pressure. At the same time, some of her organs,
including kidneys and liver, may not be working properly. If you are above 40,
then you get high changes for preeclampsia than for younger women.
Trouble getting pregnant
When you get old, you need to face certain difficulties during or before
pregnancy, and it is otherwise known as fertility problems. Each woman in this
world is born with a set of a number of eggs, and when you ovulate, you realize
an egg each time, and it continues about 14 days before you get your period. So
as you get older, your egg amount gets decreased slowly, and the leftover eggs
also cannot be easily fertilized by a man’s sperm. And it makes it difficult
for you to get pregnant. If you’re older than 30 and trying for 5 to 6 months
to get pregnant, you have to mention this to your fertility doctor. He will
recommend the perfect fertility treatments that can help you get pregnant.
