[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's some talk about doing away with advanced maternal age as it's essentially not needed and more rooted in misogyny than actual health care. [/quote] That’s ridiculous. Doing away with a medical term because feelings are hurt? The eggs are older and more likely to have genetic defects especially after 40. Women with advanced maternal age should be given the information on what tests are recommended for their age group and let them decide. [/quote] THIS. -signed AMA mom x2[/quote] Yeah. There was actually a study a few years ago that showed better outcomes for moms who gave birth at just over 35 versus those who were 34, just below the AMA cutoff. Practically speaking, the risks aren’t much different — but the increased monitoring actually improves outcomes.[/quote]
