Abstract
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.
