Background : Advanced maternal age is considerably related with adverse obstetrical outcomes
like pregnancy- induced hypertension and preterm Delivery. Caesarean delivery is also increased
in those mothers. Advanced maternal age pregnancy was also found to be a major risk factor for
low birth-weight and perinatal death.
We conducted eight cases of very advanced maternal age pregnancies (between 47 years to 53
years) in Dept of Gynae and Obstetrics, Jhargram Government Medical College and Hospital,
Jhargram, West Bengal, India during the period January 2024 to June 2024. we successfully
managed through their pregnancies outlining the conception challenges, pregnancy complications
and the subsequent management and outcomes. We further undertake a literature review to assess
the challenges and outcomes of pregnancies at very advanced maternal age.
