Many pregnant women give birth to babies at a young age, but with the emergence of the two child policy, many women will want to have another baby, but they are also worried that their age is already at the stage of elderly mothers, and pregnancy will cause significant harm to their bodies. So, is a 31 year old pregnant woman considered an advanced maternal age?
31 year old pregnant women are not considered elderly mothers. Elderly mothers refer to those who have their first pregnancy at the age of 35 or above, and can still conceive at the age of 31. Mothers don't need to worry too much. They should pay attention to rest, strengthen their body's nutrition, and regularly go to the hospital for prenatal checkups. Under normal circumstances, it won't have a significant impact on their health. Pregnant women can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat less high sugar and high-fat foods, and keep their weight within a certain range.
Pregnant women can take folic acid appropriately in the early stages of pregnancy to prevent fetal neural tube defects. Pregnant women should also have less contact with pets, as pets can carry some parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii. If pregnant women are infected with parasites, it may cause a decrease in fetal intelligence, stillbirth, and the risk of miscarriage.
Pregnant women should also avoid exposure to secondhand smoke, as cigarettes contain nicotine, fragrance, and nicotine. After absorption, pregnant women may experience fetal malformations, miscarriage, and premature birth. Therefore, pregnant women should try to stay away from secondhand smoke as much as possible.
