In the Soviet Union, there was a practice in antenatal clinics to evaluate a woman from the point of view of her ability to give birth and bear a baby, taking into account her age. Traditionally, it was believed that a young lady would cope better with such a task. But, according to many modern women, the parameter was underestimated, because all women in labor over 26 years of age who were expecting their first baby were called old-timers.
Today the situation is changing, people give birth at both 40 and 50. Who is now considered an old-timer, obstetrician-gynecologist, ultrasound diagnostics doctor, member of ISUOG Svetlana Botasheva told
The biological clock
Many women, as doctors note, live under the weight of the biological clock pressing on them in terms of choosing the time of childbearing. “Alas, the possibility of childbearing is limited by nature: with age, the egg depot decreases, and the body does not become healthier. Science, which makes it possible to improve the quality of life, medical technologies that open up new possibilities for human reproduction, and progressive public consciousness, which has replaced the crude term “starparous” with the more delicate “age-related primiparous,” helps slow down the biological clock and expand the age limits of female reproduction,” says Svetlana Botasheva .

Historical framework
At different times, the requirements for childbirth also changed, or more precisely, the age threshold for a woman when, according to doctors, it was best for her to give birth to her first child. “At the end of the 18th century, when the first official medical work on obstetrics and gynecology by Nestor Ambodik, “The Art of Midwifery, or the Science of Womanhood,” appeared in Russia, those who had not given birth before the age of 20 were considered old-timers,” says the gynecologist.
In the Soviet Union, medicine was much better, and therefore this limit was moved to 26 years. However, time does not stand still, and today, as everyone knows, various reproductive technologies are used, which often make it possible not to look back at the biological clock. “At the beginning of the 21st century, we are recording a new range: today, women’s childbearing period is from 18 to 45 years old, and they fall into the segment of “aged primiparas” after 32. We consider the optimal age to be from 19 to 28 years, and the critical age is 35-45,” - says Svetlana Botasheva.
At the same time, just like 200 years ago, the main variable in the pregnancy equation remains the supply of follicles allocated to a woman. It is laid down by nature and genetics, says the doctor. It is worth remembering that it is limited and ends. Menopause will still occur sooner or later, and this is actually the impossibility of either conceiving or giving birth. As the specialist notes, you can prolong your childbearing potential using the following measures:
- correct lifestyle;
- careful health monitoring using modern technologies and methods;
- responsible attitude towards oneself;
- innovative methods in reproduction.

Gifts for 36th wedding anniversary
As you probably already guessed, there are no typical and traditional gifts for this date. In fact, it doesn’t really matter what gift to give the spouses for this anniversary, the main thing is that it is from the heart. After all, sometimes it’s enough just to take a closer look at the husband and wife to understand what to give them. And yet we will give possible gifts for the thirty-sixth year of marriage:
- Interior or decorative items (pay attention to the interior of the couple, perhaps it can be improved with an exquisite figurine, vase, wall clock or painting, or maybe install a new table with chairs in the middle of the hall for receiving guests);
- Based on the American name of the celebration, you can present porcelain items (dishes, boxes, tea sets);
- You can also steal a photo from the spouses’ family archive and have the photo printed on T-shirts, blankets, mugs, plates, or on photo canvas;

- An electronic or simple paper book is always the best gift for highly intelligent people;

If nothing at all comes to mind, give money or look at other anniversary gifts presented on our website. Perhaps you will like something. And after the celebration is over, we begin to prepare for the next conquered “Everest” - Musulin’s wedding.
Reproductive assistance
If a woman has long been in the category of old-time pregnant women, or, as they now say, old-age primigravidas, and pregnancy still does not occur, modern methods of reproduction will help her. “This is in vitro fertilization, sperm donation, oocyte donation, surrogacy, the ICSI procedure - the injection of sperm into the cytoplasm of the egg, which is possible if you have your own follicles. It just happens that they are still there, but they seem to be “sleeping,” sitting quietly: in preparation for IVF, their growth is stimulated by a powerful dose of hormones. It’s another matter when the supply is depleted and there is simply nothing to stimulate,” notes Svetlana Botasheva. So, first of all, for women who have stepped beyond the optimal age, a full and extensive consultation with a doctor is required. Various tests may be required before a decision is made about pregnancy.
Why are there more and more older first-time mothers today?
“It is always important for a doctor to determine the reasons why a woman delayed motherhood, medical or social. It is more difficult to work with medical ones; they require large-scale examinations, scrupulous analytics, and often consultations of specialists in order to eliminate all risk factors. We include congenital or acquired chronic somatic diseases, diagnosed miscarriage, various gynecological pathologies, previous inflammatory processes, complicated early abortions. Social ones are less alarming: this is the desire of women to first provide a financial base, to realize themselves in a profession, to arrange a life, that is, to find a worthy father for their future children; sometimes motherhood is postponed by well-established and generally healthy women who are simply not confident in their partner and the stability of the relationship with him,” notes the gynecologist.
In any case, as the specialist says, late pregnancy is a special challenge for the doctor, too, because increased attention, more in-depth diagnosis and vigilant monitoring are required. The test sheet for such an expectant mother may be 10-12 points longer than that of a young woman in labor.

Risks of elderly women
Late pregnancy, even despite all the possibilities and miracles that medicine creates, has a lot of risks. “After 40 years, the risk of miscarriage and chromosomal changes increases by 30-35%. Therefore, it is fundamentally important to carry out all fetal screening examinations on time: at the 11th and 20th weeks, as well as monitoring at the 24th, 28th and closer to the 30th.
The doctor will also take into account the possibility of placental disorders. Due to the fact that the vascular walls weaken, changes occur in the microblood flows of the body and there is a risk of pathology of the most important system of pregnancy “mother-placenta-fetus”. This can jeopardize the child’s health and, ultimately, his quality of life,” says Svetlana Botasheva.
Also, do not forget about chronic diseases that a woman has already developed by the age of 40. This could be diabetes, hypertension. During the process of childbirth, against such a background, it happens that discoordination of labor occurs, etc. “Fortunately, today’s medicine is powerfully armed to prevent and minimize all these risks. The main thing here is trusting cooperation between the doctor and the expectant mother, who must be prepared for increased attention and very careful control,” says Svetlana Botasheva.
