Advanced Maternal Age in the Midwifery Model of Care
Manage episode 312486186 series 3236708
‘Advanced maternal age’ is the medical term used to describe pregnancies over the age of 35. But why do we care if someone is over 35? Is it a higher-risk pregnancy? What are the different factors that go into a person over 35 having a high risk pregnancy? The midwives break down some of the statistics and talk about how the midwifery model approaches birth parents over 35. Just a heads up- this episode talks about some hard stuff, like miscarriage and pregnancy loss, and it might not be appropriate for all listeners.
