The last few years is quite a lot of young couples who delay pregnancy after marriage, either because of work, want to continue school or not ready to have children. Please note, the cell egg (ovum) of a woman who will not grow since birth. Each month a few cells will mature eggs (ready to be fertilized) and some others will be atresia (not growing).With age, the egg cell that we have less and less. With age, our fertility (ability to conceive) diminish. At the age of 20-24 years, female fertility reaches 100 percent. At the age of 35-39 years, 60 percent lived in fertility, even only 25 percent at age 40-44 years. Getting "old" her egg, also allows the pregnancy with congenital abnormalities in infants (birth defects). From the study it was found that the possibility of birth defects in babies conceived by women over the age of 35 years and 3 times more common in women than younger.
Thus, delaying pregnancy until the age of 28 years was allowed. Discuss the (potential) husband about the number of children wanted, so before the age of 35 years, pregnancy and delivery process is complete. Remember also that the distance between the child should be 2 years. Before postponing pregnancy, you and your partner should consult to ensure reproductive organs and functions in good condition. Just as important, optimizing the conditions prior to pregnancy (preconception preparation). One of them by consuming enough folic acid.
