More and More Women Delay First Child-Birth to Their Early 40s

(Newswire.net — May 26, 2021) Orlando, FL — The Office of National Statistics reveal that people are increasingly delaying childbearing until later life, and this leads in rising fertility rates among older women. 

There are factors that influence this, such as increasing relevance of achieving career goals and the rising costs of child care. 

It is true that after the age of 35, women tend to start lessening their odds of having a child. However, it is also worth noting that there are also many women who succeeded in having their first child in their early 40s. 

Some techniques are found to be particularly beneficial in boosting fertility, and these include cutting alcohol intake. It is important to always keep in mind that alcohol consumption impedes one’s ability to conceive. 

Recent research, which was carried out by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, has even shown that consumption of three glasses of wine every week can actually have a detrimental impact on pregnancy success for both men and women. 

It is similarly important to quit smoking, which has long been linked with a myriad of undesirable health benefits. 

In recent studies, it has been found tobacco has damaging impacts on birth rates, in general. Women who are looking to get pregnant later in life are strongly advised to quit the habit. 

It is worth noting that smokers are expected to reach menopause on average of two years earlier than non-smokers. Having a healthy diet is also one of the keys to enhancing fertility.

Various research studies suggest that intake of certain nutrients like certain B vitamins could be particularly helpful. These include B-3 (niacin), B-6 (pyridoxine), B-9 (folate or folic acid), and B-12. 

A study was carried out in 2007 and it has been found that women with increased blood levels of B-6 are more likely to be fertile. This means that consuming more B6 may be potentially helpful in fighting infertility. 

According to experts, the relevance of B6 in fertility may be due to the levels of homocysteine, which is a common amino acid found in the bloodstream. It is worth noting that at high levels, homocysteine is linked with an increased risk of stroke and heart disease.

It is worth keeping in mind that in previous studies, scientists found a link in between high homocysteine levels in the folicles and ovulation problems. When there are low homocysteine levels may enhance the odds of becoming pregnant.
