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.

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

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...

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.

If it is not first baby, i guess is fine compare to first baby at later age. I know nowadays woman get married late and give birth also late. As it is also depends on the woman fertility too and luck too...i guess..

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.
