Pregnancy rates are steadily increasing as women age. Advanced maternal age is defined as a mother's age of 35 years or more at the time of childbirth. The change in the role of women in society is playing a role in the postponement of motherhood to an older age, with contemporary women wanting to be educated, wanting to achieve high professional positions and, last but not least, wanting to be financially independent. However, at the expense of the above-mentioned goals, pregnancy and motherhood are being pushed back to a woman's older age. As a woman gets older, she also develops diseases of civilisation (hypertension, overweight, obesity, diabetes mellitus, etc.), which in themselves pose a risk to the pregnancy itself.
