A woman is very suitable for pregnancy from the age of 21 to 30. Production of eggs start diminishing after this . Also its strength is reduced after the age of 30. So it's a bit harder to get pregnant after that age. But there are lot of chances to get pregnant over the age of 30. I would only say that the production of eggs starts diminishing . I feel very happy to say that many women have given birth to healthy children from the age of 35 to 45 years in my experience. God's creation is such that young woman is suitable for ovulation and is under less risk during pregnancy and child birth. That is why women were married at their young age those days. There have been many complications too. When a woman gets pregnant during 13 to 18 years of age, though she is physically fit, I can not deny that she was rid of complications. During those days, she could not open her mouth and talk to the elders nor she was able to refuse for early marriage. She did not have the courage to do so. With all these in mind only the government introduced the right age for marriage of a girl to be 21. At the present time, woman started studying well and also started going for work. As a result, marriages got delayed. As a result, the pregnancy is delayed too!! The main reason for this is tension, stress, pressure, night shifts etc. If you take these into account, I do not think that a woman getting a child over 35 years of age is amazing or something unbelievable. However, do not forget that pregnancy after 35 years need some close attention and greater care. Woman is quiet stronger and can take up any challenge with courage. So, getting pregnant at later age should not be any problem.
