Late pregnancy is a medical term used to describe pregnancy in women who are older than 35 years of age. It is also known as advanced maternal age or geriatric pregnancy. The risks associated with late pregnancy are higher than those for younger women, including miscarriage, stillbirth, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and chromosomal abnormalities. Other synonyms of late pregnancy include elder primigravida, older maternity, and later life gestation. Women who are planning to conceive later in life should consult with their doctors and healthcare providers to ensure that they have a healthy and successful pregnancy. Prenatal care is even more critical during late pregnancy to ensure the best possible outcome for mother and baby.
