Many serious and fear-inspiring facts about late pregnancy should not be discounted. Statistics inexorable: women after 35 years the risk of having a child with Down syndrome is 9 times higher than that of 30-year-olds. During pregnancy at this age may worsen chronic diseases such expectant mother, such as diabetes, hypertension and many others. There is a risk of placental abruption and various fetal abnormalities, which is a threat for both the pregnant woman and for the baby. Besides, the chance of pregnancy after 35 years in women is much lower than that of those who had become a mother at an early age.
One of the important problems facing women in age, especially if she gives birth to a child without a father, is the financial welfare. On the one hand, it has already taken place as a person and has a stable job. The Labour Code also on her side: until the child is 1, 5 years old mom gets monthly at the place of work in the form of benefit payment equal to 40% of her salary, and to 35 years in a woman usually already has a stable job and good salary. Frightens only financial uncertainty in the event of any unforeseen circumstances, such as sudden illness. And the lack of any substantial social benefits after the child turns 1, 5 years, combined with great difficulty on the device in the baby nursery becomes an insoluble problem for expectant mothers without husbands.
Another aspect of this issue - the psychological.

As for the fact that this mummy will look him (the baby) grandmother, it is safe to say that a 40-year old woman, watching their appearance, sometimes looks fresher and younger than their not watching him, much younger girlfriends.
Late kids in their mental abilities are often even ahead of those who appeared at the young parents. The key is that the child is late - it baby, waiting for the appearance of which is a miracle. With him at the woman begins a different perception of the world, unusual and previously unknown to her. And what do all possible problems compared to the inexpressible joy when the baby with a happy smile on her face running towards his mother and hugs her neck her tiny hands.
