What Are The Effects In Future Of Aborting Pregnancy After 35?
I m 35 years old and pregnant. I have a loving boyfriend who supports me but I m not excited about it. This year was supposed to be our engagement and the wedding I ve dreamed about my entire life and I m watching my dreams crumble. I m embarrassed, sad, confused, and feel awful for not being excited for the blessing. Additionally, I know I m 35 and beyond the risk zone. Please provide perspective. What is the real data on pregnancy after 35 if I don t embrace this pregnancy?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities like down syndrome increase after 35 years of age.And rate of miscarriage ,intra uterine growth retardation of baby ,diabetes and hypertension in mother during pregnancy increases after 35 years of age.So the continuation of pregnancy is advisable.
