FERTILITY
As females get older the chances of conceiving each month reduce. From 35 to 40 years your chance of conceiving each month is 10-15%. After 40 years of age it can reduce to as low as 5% chance each month. Your chances of miscarriage also increase after 35. The amount of woman having babies after 35 is increasing and many do conceive without problems or having IVF but you do have to be aware of the fertility time clock.
FOLIC ACID
Increase your Folic Acid intake before getting pregnant, and in early pregnancy as deficiency can cause possible congenital neural tube defects eg spina bifida. The present recommendation is 0.8mg of folic acid daily for 4 weeks before conception until 3months post conception. Please speak to your LMC (Doctor, Midwife) re this.
RUBELLA IMMUNITY
Check your rubella immunity. If not immune you may wish to consider having the vaccine and then will have to wait approx 3 months before trying to get pregnant. Avoid pregnancy after any immunisations until advised otherwise.
