JAKARTA - Many women think that the most appropriate age for pregnancy and childbirth is around the age of 20 to 30 years. While the most vulnerable age is at the age of 50 years. However, it is possible for a woman to get pregnant at that age. The proof is that the mother of Indonesian soap opera actress Celine Evangelista, Vincentia Nurul, was recently reported to be pregnant with five months of pregnancy at the age of five. Surprisingly again, Nurul is pregnant with twins.

Quoted from the VOI page, Nurul admitted that this is her seventh pregnancy so she feels that she is used to taking care of children who are quite close. She also admitted that her pregnancy felt like a blessing because she often prayed that she wanted to be with her children. Far from expectations, Nurul's prayer was granted with the presence of two new babies who will soon enliven her life again.

In fact, Celine Evangelista's mother isn't the only one lucky enough to be pregnant in her 50s. Characters whose names are not unfamiliar to hear, such as actress Brigitte Nielsen also gave birth at the age of 54 years. Even with singer Janet Jackson who is pregnant at the age of 49 years.

On the one hand, being pregnant at the age of 50 can be said to be a blessing, but on the other hand, this pregnancy also has many risks. Launching the Beautynesia page, Monday, May 31, there are several risks that must be anticipated when having a baby in your 50s, namely, preeclampsia, which is a condition of high blood pressure that occurs during pregnancy, gestational diabetes, pregnancy outside the uterus or ectopic, cesarean delivery, and miscarriage.

Launching the Beritagar page, a study on childbirth in Israel revealed that there is no more significant risk for pregnant women in their 50s. So, most likely only the five risks mentioned above are likely to be faced by pregnant women in their 50s.

Of course, nothing is perfect when it comes to choosing whether pregnancy at a young or old age is better. However, what you definitely have to remember is that whatever choice you make, make sure you really think about the pregnancy and prepare carefully. Both for pregnancy at a young age and pregnancy at an older age.
