Getting pregnant and giving birth is the dream of every married woman. However, sometimes quite a few women become pregnant at a fairly mature age. For example, artists Olivia Zalianty and Son Ye Jin were pregnant and gave birth for the first time at the age of 40.
Even though they were pregnant and gave birth at the age of 40, both of them managed to have a healthy pregnancy and birth. This means that during pregnancy and childbirth they did not experience any significant obstacles.
“It’s programmed because I’m 40 years old, doctors or people used to say, the main thing is to get pregnant straight away because over 40 years the risk is greater, the egg cells are better if under 40 years,” said Olivia Zalianty during an exclusive interview with HaiBunda, some time ago .

“Essentially, I really pray that I will have children quickly because I am already 40 years old. The goal of marriage is to have a definite family and have children. Thank God for the gift,” he continued.
Meanwhile, actor Hyun Bin’s wife, Son Ye Jin, also admitted that she felt happy to be pregnant at the age of 40. “A new life came to us. I was still in a daze, but I felt the changes in my body every day with worry and excitement,” said Son Ye Jin.
“I am very grateful, but at the same time I also have to be more careful. So I still haven’t revealed this news to the people closest to me. But before it’s too late, I reveal this news to fans and acquaintances who are also waiting like us,” he continued as reported by AllKpop.
Tips for a healthy pregnancy and childbirth at the age of 40
A healthy pregnancy and birth is every mother’s dream, but to make it happen there are quite a lot of challenges and obstacles that must be faced. Even more so if you are pregnant and give birth at the age of 40.
When undergoing pregnancy and childbirth at the age of 40, mothers must pay extra attention to their little one in the womb. Quoting from Allinahealth, here are several ways that mothers can try to have a healthy pregnancy and childbirth at the age of 40
1. Go to the doctor regularly
Getting pregnant at age 40 certainly has a higher risk than getting pregnant at a younger age. Therefore, it is important for mothers to check themselves regularly with a gynecologist.
Not only doing an ultrasound, mothers can also ask the doctor to carry out other examinations such as chromosome tests, blood tests to detect preeclampsia, and also ask for additional recommended vaccines, for example the RSV vaccine.
Mothers are also required to actively consult a doctor, especially if they have complaints that are quite disturbing during pregnancy. Don’t hesitate to ask if you feel doubtful or confused about something. Make sure whatever you do or consume has been declared safe by a doctor.
2. Do light exercise
During pregnancy at the age of 40, mothers are also advised to do some light sports activities. Mothers can take a leisurely walk for a maximum of 30 minutes a day, if a leisurely walk is still too strenuous, yoga can also be an option.
Doing light exercise can reduce the risk of illness during pregnancy, such as blood clots, swollen legs and back pain. Apart from that, regular exercise is also believed to make the birthing process easier.
3. Maintain your diet
Diet is very important during pregnancy, especially if you are pregnant at the age of 40 years or more. Mothers can try the Mediterranean diet, this eating pattern requires mothers to consume more vegetables and fruit.
However, please note that adopting this diet does not prohibit mothers from consuming meat. Mothers can still consume meat, but in reasonable amounts.
This type of eating pattern is believed to be very beneficial for reducing the risk of disease and helping the baby’s development while in the womb. If the Mediterranean diet is still too heavy for you, you don’t need to rush into it.
Mothers can regulate their diet by consuming lots of natural foods and limiting consumption of processed foods and raw foods. Apart from that, mothers are advised to reduce their consumption of artificial sugar because it can increase the risk of diabetes and obesity.
Getting pregnant at the age of 40 turns out to be a miracle, Mother. What do you think is the reason that pregnancy at the age of 40 is called a miracle?
