Background: In the present research paper, we aim to evaluate pregnancy related issues encountered by women aging 35 years or above. We will highlight the possible complications faced by women who have reached the advanced age with young women pregnancies. Method: A prospective study of 13952 patients was conducted at SMGS, a tertiary care hospital in Jammu these patients which were divided into two groups based on age of patients. Group A consists of 7658 pregnant women aged < 35 years and group B consists of 2691 pregnant patients aged ≥ 35 years. Result: Evidently we observed that women aging 35 years or above are more vulnerable to multiple intrapartum and postpartum complications than younger women in group B. Conclusion: The observations made in this study corroborate the negative impact of advanced maternal ages on pregnancy. Extreme maternal age is undoubtedly attributed with some serious pregnancy issues. Apart from antenatal and postnatal complications, spontaneous conception becomes all the more challenging. We suggest Obstetricians to provide the evidence based knowledge to women so that their procreate choices be optimized.
