Some women argue that they can't have children earlier in life because of their busy schedules.

They are therefore left with no option but to get pregnant at a later age which happens to be the 40s.

However, for any woman hoping to get pregnant in her 40s, she should be ready for some possibilities.

Here are some of the things any woman should expect if she is planning to get pregnant in her 40s.

1. Be aware of symptoms

Women in their 40s  are at high risk of having pregnancy complications.

These symptoms include; peeing a lot, headaches, fatigue and many other complications.

Therefore, any woman hoping to get pregnant in her 40s should be aware of these symptoms.

2. Consider your fertility options

When women get older, their ability to get pregnant is very low.

 This is so because, the older they get, the closer they approach menopause stage. 

Therefore, women in their 40s who want to have children should be aware of the risk.

3. Watch your bone

Women over the age of 35 happen to have weak bones.

 This makes them fragile and severely exposed to osteoporosis. 

Hence, giving birth in the 40s may cause some other health complications.
