Just a few days ago news of a 63 year old woman becoming pregnant, figures from the Human Fertility and Embryology Authority support the fact that many older women are taking the plunge into latter life pregnancy.
Doctors have noted that older mothers are at increased risk of stroke, heart attack, diabetes, pre-eclampsia, high blood pressure and multiple births all which put the mother and child in potential life-threatening situations.
FYI, the oldest mother in the UK is Liz Buttle, from Wales who was 60 years old when she gave birth to a son, Joseph, in 1997.Â
Some older woman also experience a relaxed vaginal muscle. A kegel exercise can tighten their vaginal muscle with just a few minute everyday. For those who are busy and would like the see results fast, use kegel exerciser, it can help strengthen your vagina in a shorter time.
Personally I hope the health community does continued research into helping older women have successful, healthy births later in life.
