Pregnancy over age 50
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Pregnancy over age 50 has become more possible for women, due to recent advances in assisted reproductive technology, in particular egg donation. Typically, a woman's fecundity ends with menopause, which by definition is 12 consecutive months without having had a period. Perimenopause usually begins between ages 40 and 51 and fertility can and often does end at this stage also. This is when the periods become irregular and eventually stop altogether, but even when periods are still regular, the egg quality of women in their forties is typically dramatically lower than in younger women, making the likelihood of conceiving a healthy baby also dramatically lower, particularly after age 42.[1] Men, in contrast, generally remain fertile throughout their lives,] although the risk of genetic defects is greatly increased due to the paternal age effect. Other sources claim that men might experience a decline in fertility starting in their late 30s.] In the United States, between 1997 and 1999, 539 births were reported among mothers over age 50, with 194 being over 55. According to statistics from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, in the Britain, more than 20 babies are born to women over age 50 per year through in‐vitro fertilization with the use of donor oocytes (eggs). Maria del Carmen Bousada de Lara is the oldest verified mother; she was aged 66 years 358 days
when she gave birth to twins; she was 130 days older than Adriana Iliescu, who gave birth in 2005
to a baby girl. The children were conceived through IVF with donor eggs. The oldest verified
mother to conceive naturally (listed currently in the Guinness Records[7]) is Dawn Brooke (UK);
she conceived a son at the age of 59 years in 1997 while taking oestrogen.

The risk of pregnancy complications increases as the mother's age increases. Risks associated
with childbearing over the age of 50 include an increased incidence of gestational
diabetes, hypertension, delivery by caesarean section, miscarriage, preeclampsia, and placenta
previa.[4][8] In comparison to mothers between 20 and 29 years of age, mothers over 50 are at
almost three times the risk of low birth weight, premature birth, and extremely premature birth;
their riskk of extremelly low birth weight, smaall size for geestational agge, and fetal mortality waas
almost doouble.[9]

Debatte
Pregnanccies among older
o
womenn have been a subject of controversyy and debate.. Some arguee
against motherhood
m
late
l in life onn the basis of
o the health risks involvved, or out off concern thaat an
older moother might not
n be able or
o around to care
c for a chhild as she agges, while otthers contendd
that havinng a child iss a fundamenntal right andd that it is coommitment to
t a child's wellbeing,
w
noot the
[157][1588][159]
parents' ages,
a
that maatters.
A surveyy of attitudess towards preegnancy oveer age 50 among Australiians found thhe 54.6%
believed it was accep
ptable for a postmenopau
p
usal woman to have her own eggs traansferred annd
that 37.9% believed it
i was accepptable for a postmenopau
p
usal women to
t receive doonated ova
[160]
or embryyos.
Governm
ments have so
ometimes takken actions to
t regulate or
o restrict latter-in-life chhildbearing. In
I
the 1990ss, France app
proved a bill which prohhibited postm
menopausal pregnancy,
p
w
which
the Frrench
Minister of Health att the time, Phhilippe Dousste-Blazy, saaid was "...im
mmoral as well
w as dangeerous
her and childd". In Italy, thhe Association of Mediccal Practitionners and Denntists
to the heaalth of moth
prevented its members from providing women aged 50 and over with fertility treatment. Britain's
then-Secretary of State for Health, Virginia Bottomley, stated, "Women do not have the right to
have a child; the child has a right to a suitable home".[159] However, in 2005, age restrictions on
IVF in the United Kingdom were officially withdrawn.[161]
Legal restrictions are only one of the barriers confronting women seeking IVF, as many fertility
clinics and hospitals set age limits of their own.[147]
