Slovak Gynecologist Says Age Limits for Pregnancy Have Shifted as More Women Give Birth Around Age 40

Pregnancies around age 40, both first-time and subsequent births, are becoming increasingly common in Slovakia as part of a global trend, according to medical experts. A Slovak gynecologist notes that the traditional age boundaries for childbearing have shifted upward as more women delay starting families. However, current medical research indicates that later pregnancies are associated with increased risks of complications for both mothers and babies. The trend reflects broader social and economic changes that lead women to postpone childbearing, though medical professionals emphasize the importance of understanding the health implications of delayed pregnancy.
