As you are above 35 years of age, miscarriage is a much more serious threat. A genetic counsellor can actually calculate the risks of complications associated with your pregnancy, based on your family medical history, and of course your own. Be prepared to fight through the possible complications.

Get into perfect shape before trying to conceive. Not only is it important for healthy pregnancy but is necessary for conceiving in the first place. Smoking and drinking are a strict no and even the daily caffeine intake should be regulated.

Your body at this stage is preparing for menopause and not ovulation. Herbal supplements are inexpensive and non-invasive methods of helping a woman get pregnant naturally. They manage and aid in the release of two pregnancy-related hormones called progesterone and oestrogen.
