Many women have healthy pregnancies in their 40s, but fertility naturally declines with age, and the chances of getting pregnant may take longer compared to younger age. There is also a slightly higher risk of complications like gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, or chromosomal issues like Down syndrome.
Here’s what you can do:
Visit a gynecologist for pre-pregnancy checkups and fertility evaluation. Track ovulation to know your fertile days better. Maintain a healthy lifestyle—balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management. Take folic acid and prenatal vitamins if you're actively trying.
With proper medical guidance and care, many women successfully conceive and deliver healthy babies in their 40s. If you’ve been trying for a few months without success, consulting a fertility specialist is a good idea.
