If you’re pregnant and over the age of 35, you may have heard the term “geriatric pregnancy.” Odds are, you probably don’t qualify for any seniors’ discounts just yet, so you may be wondering why on earth your pregnancy has been called geriatric. In the medical world, a geriatric pregnancy is an old term that was used to describe a pregnancy in a person over the age of 35. Nowadays, doctors use the term advanced maternal age (AMA) instead. Here’s what to expect if you are pregnant in this age group. What is advanced maternal age (AMA)? Advanced maternal age (AMA) is the medical term used to describe pregnancy in people age 35 and older. Today, more babies than ever are born to people in this age category. According to a 2014 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , the number of people who gave birth to their first babies between the ages of 35 and 39 has rising over time. As of 2014, first births in this age group were 6 times more common than they were in the 1970s. The rates of pregnant people having their first babies even in their 40s is as much as 4 times higher than it used to be, according to the same 2014 CDC report. Birth rates do change year by year, sometimes dipping rather than rising. 2020 CDC data shows fewer births across all age categories than the year before. For people over 40, this was the first time since 1981 that the number of births went down. Overall, though, starting a family when you’re over age 35 or 40 is more commonplace now than it was for previous generations. If pregnancy after 35 isn’t really that unusual, why do we even need the term “advanced maternal age”? The answer is that pregnancy in this age group comes with some potential risks. We’ll look at these next. What are the risks? All pregnancies come with some amount of risk, regardless of your age. But the possibility of complications is higher when you’re older. Because you’re born with the same eggs that you’ll have for your entire life, there is a higher chance of abnormalities during pregnancies that happen later in life. Other health changes associated with aging can also affect your pregnancy. For example, the risk of fibroids and endometriosis increases with age. Some of the risks of advanced maternal age during pregnancy include : premature birth
