According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, age 35 and up is considered “advanced maternal age”, and carries a higher risk for birth defects such as Down Syndrome. Women over 35 also have a greater likelihood of having a cesarean delivery and a higher risk for stillbirth.

The hormonal shifts that come with pregnancy can be difficult to cope with at any age, but post-menopausal women may find them especially exhausting.
