@drsermedmezher: “Late Pregnancy Protects from Cancers” #wait. Sources- PMID 24977462 PMID 38745181 PMID 40627605 PMID 15721398 PMID 35751416 chelseardh5 on TT Pregnancy before age 35 aligns with when the body is at it’s physiologically optimal to deal with the effects and when eggs are younger and less prone to chromosomal abnormalities. This significantly reduces risks of early pregnancy loss, structural birth defects, maternal complications and genetic conditions like Down syndrome. Younger women typically have healthier vascular and metabolic systems, leading to a lower baseline risk for complications like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and high blood pressure. For the fetus, pregnancy before 35 supports optimal placental function, reducing the likelihood of growth restriction, premature birth, and low birth weight. While advanced medical care allows safe pregnancies later in life, conceiving earlier takes advantage of peak tissue elasticity, robust cardiovascular adaptation, and optimal cellular health, leading to fewer medical interventions and safer outcomes for mother and baby. Women who give birth later having higher longevity could be due to other factors, like increased socioeconomic status (e.g. waited to have a child to prioritise their career). #women #pregnancy #cancer
