A Study on Feto-Maternal Outcome Among Elderly Pregnant Women During the Intrapartum and Postpartum Period in a Tertiary Care Center

Elderly pregnancies carry a greater risk for both maternal and fetal complications, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, low birth weight, preterm labor, and an increased likelihood of cesarean delivery. However, with proper prenatal care, regular monitoring, and timely interventions, many of these risks can be effectively managed to enhance both maternal and fetal health. This study emphasizes the need for personalized care for older pregnant women, advocating for early detection, prevention measures, and a collaborative approach to ensure safe pregnancies in this growing population.
