Patient's question:
I am 29 years old, female. Now my eldest child is already 8 years old. Currently, I want to plan for a second child. What is the latest age for a woman to give birth to a second child?Doctor's answer:
The best age for women to conceive is between 22 and 29. During this period, women's psychological and physical development is mature, and their bodies are in a good state, with a lower likelihood of unexpected issues with the fetus during pregnancy. After the age of 35, pregnancy is medically referred to as "advanced maternal age," which poses significant risks to both the health of the fetus and the life of the mother. Therefore, under favorable conditions, it is advisable to have a second child before the age of 35, and caution should be exercised if the age is below 35.
