Disadvantages of delaying childbearing

Among the disadvantages of delaying childbearing, we highlight the decrease in fertility, which increases the probability of needing assisted reproduction to achieve pregnancy.

However, this is not the only effect of delaying childbearing. In the event that pregnancy does occur, older women have a higher risk of suffering from gestational diabetes, increased blood pressure, a high probability of having genetic abnormalities in their eggs, and even a higher rate of miscarriage.
