Scientists have identified a new danger of pregnancy and childbirth after 35 years
Canadian scientists have puzzled the world with their ambiguous statement. They reported that Pregnancy and childbirth for women who have turned 35 years old can be very dangerous. At the same time, she is exposed to two - both mother and child.
The study was conducted on the basis of the laboratories of the University of Alberta. The main risk was called cardiac problems.
According to scientists, it is they who, after carrying a fetus at the age of 35+, can develop in a woman. Also, the likelihood of developing heart problems in the future and the child, who was born of an "age" mother.
The experiment was performed on laboratory rats. To participate in the experiment were selected animals over 9.5 months. This rat age, according to biologists, is equivalent to a human 35 years.
The females of this age were divided into three groups. The first included rodents, who were currently pregnant, the second - those who gave birth repeatedly, the third - rodents who had never given birth to offspring, in the fourth experimental group were female rats who had a miscarriage.
Survey of miscarriages and childbirth showed that motherhood and spontaneous abortion increase fragility and stiffness of blood vessels. In this case, born in "age" mothers of rats male there were also problems with blood vessels and blood vessels.
From the point of view of the state of the vessels, the unborn females were healthy, and the pregnant females at the time of the test demonstrated the initial stages of the disturbance of the state of the blood vessels and the heart.
All this gave scientists reason to believe that during late pregnancy the fetus is significantly limited in development, the mass of the placenta is higher than normal, and that is why blood pressure is disturbed and the risks of stroke and heart attack increase.
Previously, studies of the effects of pregnancy on the body of a woman after 35 years of age, as well as the relationship between maternal age and fetal health, were studied by scientists from different countries. Such studies have been ongoing for the past 50 years. Thanks to them, it is already known that after 35 years significantly increased risk of having a baby with chromosomal abnormalitiesFor example, with Down syndrome, Turner, Ewards, etc.
There is also reliable WHO statistics. about the increased risk of miscarriage and aggravated childbirth in women over this age.
All these studies are not aimed at intimidating women and forcing them to give up the possibility of becoming mothers after 35 years of age.
The true purpose of the research is - change the approach to the care of this category of pregnant women and women in labor. Knowing about the risks of cardiac pathologies, doctors can take preventive measures, more closely monitor the state of the vessels of the woman and her fetus, provide timely assistance to help avoid negative consequences.
