Dear all

Me and my wife planning to have baby this year. My wife is at 32 which i heard woman are at higher risk after reach 30's. Would like to have some sharing and opinion from forumer here. My wife sister already had 2 miscarriage and still pregnanting the 3rd try (7months already).

I already ask my wife to take nutrition, supplement and have a healthy life on food, sleep early and reduce stress. Off course myself also having a healthy diet. I had bought some calcium food and folic acid food for my wife which i heard is good.

Please enlighten me.

32 are still ok for pregnancy, my wife delivers at age 31 & 33 respectively no issue at all.
Our gynae recommends to have babies before the age of 35, as the risk increases with age factor.
But some as old as 50s still can deliver a healthy baby.

Proper diet for both of u are important too, just have healthy diet and exercise regularly is good enuf.

Once your wife is pregnant, the gynae will prescript her with folic acid, calcium, and mutil vitamin pills as supplements.

just take it easy to conceive, it's the quality that matters, not quantity

I don't think 32 is consider under high risk group now.. due to medical field were so advance, this age number is revised too.

Be open mind and relax, baby will come when is time for him/her to come. Most important, enjoy your honeymoon time now and when you feel the romance most, almost forgetting the idea about baby.. baby will come in and stop your romantic years with all the weewee, poopoo and wawa cries. Hahaha.

Hi TS,

You are on the right track. Do add some Omega3, Deep Sea Salmon Fish Oil rich with DHA and EFA too.

Some women are alright to start to consume that for the first trimester of their pregnancy but some are not because of the blood thinning effect of Fish Oil. To play safe, start taking it before pregnancy is the best.

and DHA & EFA will be good for the first trimester when the baby's brain is being created...

Feel free to PM me if you need more info.

32 years old is still okay.
My mum gave birth to my brother when she was 44 years old and he's perfectly fine and healthy and already 13 this year.

oh yeah, TS, have u both went for blood test? to confirmed both of you aren't Thalassemia carrier?
if both are, then your baby will have a high chance to have anemia

I've always tell this story to all after 30s women friend that i know. My sister gave birth to her first child thru IVF when she was 39 and second child also thru IVF at 41. So pls, have some faith, but also take all the precautionary measures possible.

If any is carrier means cannot have baby if not will make the baby suffer?

Hi,

Im not sure my understanding of Thalassemia is similiar. If both yes, the baby will not live more than 21 years old (thats what the old people believe) but if only either yes, should be no problem rite. Are we refering the same? Btw, we already check and are not.

I do have friends at 30's give birth was fine and vice verse also, hence i abit worry of my wife condition at this age only. And seek more advice for preparation and others let it to fate...

wow wont live more than 21 yrs old?

dats sad!! born your baby to c him/her live until 21 yrs then leave u

I think delivering baby at later age is not big issue but carrying it during tat 36-40weeks is tough. Because older age, energy level, calcium, etc... is not as good as younger age woman. Besides that, as we all know, when age catching up, our BP, cholesterol.. all catching up easily too. That's why elder pregnant mummy have to be more careful.

only if BOTH are carrier then there's a very big chance the baby will have anemia

then it's good then, one of my friend didn't go for blood test, unknowing both are carrier, they only found out when she's 2 months pregnant that she's a carrier, then the hubby went for blood test also, also a carrier, don't want taking risk, they decided to do abortion.

If both are carrier, there's 50% chance the baby will be born with anemia, but if either one is a carrier, then there's 25% chance the baby is a carrier

in my case, my wife is a carrier, and luckily i'm not. Both kids are healthy, but now confirmed my eldest kid is a carrier, which has no impact on her daily life whatsoever.

As long either one of the couple is not carrrier should be fine. Make sure not both. My friends married only know both are carrier, and now not dare to give birth.

Me and husband is in the stage where we would like to try to conceive.. Any suggestion on wat procedures should we do? Is it necessary to do a full medical check?

gosh..
my sis has same situation with u.. shes same as your wife and his husband are lucky not . but is my niece will be anemia also ? or just 25% chance will be ? now my sis worrying to get another kids because of her situation.. said worrying her 2nd child will be like this....

don't worry about if only one side is a carrier, there's no way that the baby will be anemia
only 25% will be the carrier, that's all

Ok, make it simple:
If EITHER one is a carrier, then
25% chance baby will be a carrier
75% chance baby will be normal, non-carrier

if BOTH are carrier, then
50% chance baby will have anemia
25% chance baby will be a carrier
25% chance baby will be normal, non-carrier

It's the 50% fatal chance that most people are scared of, but some couple are still taking chances, betting on that other 50% chance

Hi,

i'm a be in Malaysia around Oct this year for my studies and we are in the process of having a baby, hopefully my wife's due date is around Dec/Jan. So could someone recommend a good maternity hospital in Petaling jaya.
Thanks

my friend just delivered at gleanegas hospital cos very popular. have to go for long queue

my wife has skin problem (ie, psoriasis) which we are afraid will be passed to our child.

and of course if there is something wrong with our system

so, do you guys go for any medical check-ups before planning to get a child?

tq.

Please give yourself a year to try. Both must eat well, be happy, and must have regular exercise. And yes, if you prefer, please do a checkup before you start the baby project. Trust me, the whole process requires love, patience, and relax. Good luck.
