List potential complications of both mother and infant when pregnancy occurs in an older woman
??A woman over 35 can have a healthy pregnancy, but she is at higher risk of complications during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. The few complications associated with later childbearing often reflect chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. These may result in cesarean delivery, which is twice as common in women older than 35 as among younger women. The babies of older mothers have higher rates of preterm births and low birthweights, with higher rates of birth defects.
