What challenges arise from having a child at an older age?

The best age to bear a child is a personal decision that varies for each individual. However, from a biological standpoint, women are most fertile in their late teens and early 20s, with the chances of conception decreasing as they get older. For women, the optimal time to bear a child biologically is typically between the ages of 20 and 35. Women in this age range are more likely to have healthy pregnancies and lower risks of complications such as miscarriage, preterm birth, and chromosomal abnormalities.
