Things to take care of in case of a Late Pregnancy:

There is an increased chance of miscarriage so you need to be extra careful.

• After a woman turns 30, the chances of birth defects in the baby also increase so get your ultrasounds done timely.
• Women who are pregnant after 35 years of age are more likely to have a c-section delivery so be prepared for one.
• Keep a strict check on your blood pressure and sugar levels to ensure a smooth pregnancy.
• Always keep your weight under control. If you’re overweight, you would need to lose those extra kilos.
• Eat a healthy and iron-rich diet.
• Exercise regularly and stay active.
• If you like a few drinks once in a while, you should have stopped drinking prior to conception.
