While every woman dreams of becoming a mother, getting pregnant requires reflection…
Interestingly, this is also the answer to the question that might have risen in most people’s mind when they first heard of Farah Khan’s pregnancy. “Luckily in her case all three started growing.” Well, if you are one of those who any day prefers twins or triplets, either for the fun of it, or to finish it all in one go, don’t get too excited. “It affects the healthy maturity of the embryos since the uterus has limited space and all of them compete with respect to growth,” mentions Dr. Swati.
If all of this is instilling hope in you to also aspire to delay the pending short (being optimistic) break from the fun-and-ambition-filled days that is required to bring a little one into your life, there is yet another angle to the story you should consider – moolah. “IVF is of course a costly affair. It costs a lakh easily for one entire cycle of fertilising and placing the embryos in the uterus,” reveals the doctor. While a lakh might sound affordable to many, the activity becomes costlier given “the success rate is 40%” and declines to a great extent for women close to 40 and above.
Though biologically, 20-24 is the best age to reproduce, it is almost juvenile to succumb to nature’s expectations in present times. There is a growing trend of late pregnancy and the number of women procreating (for the first time) in the age group of 30-39 has doubled over the last 15 years. But arising from age-related problems, like diabetes and blood pressure, are risks such as a longer period (6-12 months) to conceive, miscarriages and prolonged delivery, that complicate matters.
Technically, a woman’s menstrual cycle is an indicator of the fertility of her reproductive system but excessive weight, the breeder of most health problems, plays a villain in this case too. Dr. Swati warns, “Food habits and lifestyle play an important role. Obesity is prognostic of adverse effects on child planning, whether naturally or through artificial methods.”
