Risk of pregnancy
When is there a risk in pregnancy?
A woman’s fertility declines after she turns 35. The probability of achieving a pregnancy naturally is only approx. 5-6% when the woman turns 40, and at the same time the risk of spontaneous abortions increases.

The woman’s age is one of many risk factors for pregnancy. Other risk factors for a pregnancy are:
- Chronic diseases such as diabetes or arthritis.
- Metabolic diseases.
- Unhealthy lifestyle (poor diet, too little exercise).
- Medicine consumption.
- Alcohol, nicotine and other drugs.
