Patient's question:
A 29-year-old woman, now my first child is already 8 years old, and I currently want to plan for a second child. What is the latest age for a woman to have 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 condition, with a lower likelihood of fetal abnormalities during pregnancy. After the age of 35, pregnancy is medically referred to as "advanced maternal age," where both the health of the fetus and the life of the mother face greater risks. Therefore, if conditions permit, it is advisable to have a second child before the age of 35, and caution should be exercised if the age is below 35.
