Risks of pregnancy

When is pregnancy a risk?  

A woman's fertility declines after the age of 35. The probability of achieving a pregnancy naturally is only about 5-6% after the age of 40, and at the same time, the risk of miscarriage increases.  

What factors affect pregnancy?  

A woman's age is one of many risk factors for pregnancy. Other risk factors for pregnancy are: 

• Chronic diseases such as diabetes or arthritis 

• Metabolic diseases 

• Unhealthy lifestyle (poor diet, too little exercise) 

• Use of medicines 

• Alcohol, nicotine and other intoxicants
