Which are the six prenatal tests that must be done for elderly mothers?

Patient's question:

I have been married for several years and have been living apart from my partner, so we haven't had children. Recently, my partner transferred back, and we decided to have a child because I am 36 years old now, which makes me a high-risk pregnancy. My partner, who has been frequently traveling for client meetings, and I are worried about potential health issues, so we went to the hospital for six high-risk pregnancy tests. What kind of help do you need: What are the six prenatal tests that high-risk pregnant women must undergo?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnancy at an advanced age increases the risk of miscarriage, and the rate of fetal malformations also rises, requiring attention. Regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital are sufficient. The diet of older mothers needs to be well-balanced. If the woman has an allergic constitution, avoid peanuts or peanut products before pregnancy, as this greatly helps reduce the risk of allergic diseases in the next generation. Before pregnancy, eat more high-protein, low-fat, and gentle foods, while minimizing the intake of tea, alcohol, smoking, coffee, and other foods containing alcohol and caffeine. Older mothers need to be even more meticulous in their pre-pregnancy preparation and prenatal check-ups compared to younger mothers.
