The risk of having a baby at the age of 38 needs to be considered based on the woman’s physical quality. Theoretically, women older than 35 years old are of advanced maternal age, but if they have good health and are healthy, they will not be at risk. If the mother has some serious health problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, etc., she needs to discuss with her doctor to decide whether to carry out the pregnancy. The importance of maternity checkups can effectively avoid some of the dangers of having a baby at an advanced age: 1. increase the number of maternity checkups: due to the special nature of advanced maternity, it is necessary to increase the number of maternity checkups so that problems can be detected and treated as early as possible; 2. increase the human chorionic villus and amniotic fluid examination: through puncture sampling of the placenta and amniotic fluid, it is possible to detect whether chromosomal abnormalities, malformations and genetic diseases occur in the fetus; 3. 3, strengthen the monitoring of blood pressure and blood glucose: the incidence of complications during pregnancy increases in elderly pregnant women, therefore, strengthen the monitoring of blood pressure and blood glucose to reduce the risk of pregnancy; 4, increase the umbilical cord puncture examination: including high-risk pregnant women, after 20 weeks of gestation, it can be detected whether chromosomal abnormalities and hereditary blood disorders occur; this examination can also be performed in the middle of pregnancy. After all, the risk of cord blood puncture is higher than that of amniocentesis; 5. increase fetal systemic ultrasound monitoring: increase systemic ultrasound monitoring, such as fetal heart ultrasound, to exclude fetal structural malformations.
