WHAT IS A HIGH PREGNANCY? 

Having a high-risk pregnancy simply means that due to a pre-existing health condition — or one you develop while you’re expecting —you may be at risk of developing pregnancy related complications. In order to manage this and reduce risk; you’ll need extra monitoring and perhaps extra treatment to make sure everything goes smoothly with your health and your baby’s.

RISK FACTORS

Pre-existing factors for high-risk pregnancies may include the following:

  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Kidney problems
  • Sexually transmitted infections, including HIV
  • Diabetes
  • Cancer
  • Autoimmune diseases (such as lupus)
  • Blood disorders
  • Being overweight or underweight
  • Problematic past pregnancies
  • Having had fertility problems
  • Being under the age of 18

MANAGING HIGH RISK PREGNANCIES

High risk pregnancies require a greater number of prenatal visits with an obstetrician, in order to closely monitor the progression of the pregnancy. Women with high risk pregnancies are counselled to be especially attentive to their health, eat a nutritious diet, gain a proper amount of weight and avoid any risky substances or medications. Doctors will often prescribe vitamins, iron supplements or medicines to enhance the health of the mother and baby.

IVF INFERTILITY and AGE

What men and women need to know…a leading IVF clinic in Dwarka weighs in.

For women, age is definitely the most significant factor that affects their fertility and chances of having child; the odds of having a child is much higher for women who are younger than 35 and men younger than 40: than for older women and men. This holds true for natural pregancies and pregnancies conceived through treatments like IVF and the chances of having a child depend on the ages of both the father and mother.

Women’s age and infertility

Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have during their lives and with age the eggs as well, and decline in numbers and quality over time.  This is why the chances of having a child also reduce over time, particularly for women older than 35 and this can be difficult for women who are not ready to start a family. A woman younger than 30 has about a 20 percent chance of getting pregnant naturally each month and by the age of 40, the chances of pregnancy are about five percent each month.

Age matters for men as well

You may have heard of men in their 80s and 90s fathering children, but this is rather rare. A father’s age affects the chances of a successful pregnancy. In all the IVF treatment we’ve provided, we have noticed that it takes longer for partners of men who are older than 40 to conceive a child.

If a woman is younger than 25 and if her partner is younger than 25, it takes on average, about five months to get pregnant and if the male partner is older than 40, it takes about two years  or so, even longer if he is older than 45.

The risk of miscarriage is higher in women whose male partner is older than 45, compared to men younger than 25.

For couples who opt for IVF, the chances of having a baby is higher if the man is younger than 40.

Age can also lead to more risks associated with pregnancy because of the changes that happen in eggs and sperm with age. The children of older parents are at slightly higher risk of being born with birth defects and genetic abnormalities. The risk of mental health problems and autism spectrum disorder is marginally higher in children of fathers older than 40 than in those with younger fathers.

The risks of miscarriage and complications in pregnancy and childbirth are higher for older women than for younger women.

We have constantly provided the best IVF treatment in Dwarka to its residents and surrounding areas. Our team of highly experienced fertility specialists have helped numerous couple fulfill their dream of parenthood in West Delhi and beyond.

WHAT IS IVF?

A leading IVF Centre in Dwarka explains…

IVF which stands in vitro fertilization (IVF) is medical treatment including a set of procedures which help with assisted fertility , IVF can even prevent the passing down of  genetic problems to children and assists with the conception of a child.

In the process of IVF, mature eggs are collected (or “retrieved”) from the woman’s ovaries and are then fertilized by sperm in a laboratory. The fertilized egg (embryo) or eggs (embryos) are then transferred to the uterus. One complete IVF cycle takes three weeks approximately. In some cases the IVF process is altered and split into different parts and the process may take longer.

We have been providing successful and affordable IVF treatment in Dwarka and South-West Delhi for many years and have found IVF to be the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology in practice. The procedure can be performed with a woman’s own eggs and partner’s sperm. Or IVF can also involve eggs, sperm or embryos from a donor and in some cases a surrogate mother can also be used.

The chances of having a healthy baby with the help of IVF depend on a number of factors like age, the reason behind infertility, lifestyle, and sometimes infertility is unexplained. If more than one embryo is transferred to the uterus, IVF may result in a (multiple pregnancy).

An experienced fertility doctor with a proven track record can help you understand how IVF can work for you, the risks and whether this method of treating infertility is right for you or not.
