31 is not considered high risk pregnancy.
Instead pregnancy at 31 years of age is actually considered to be a pretty low risk pregnancy for most women, as long as you have no other underlying health issues.
Advanced maternal age, which is often referred to as AMA as 35 years or older.
Age 31 is often safe and routine for pregnancies, but there are also a few factors and milestones that you should keep in mind regarding your reproductive timeline.
Your overall health as well as your medical history and lifestyle factors such as exercise and your diet and any pre-existing health issues like high blood pressure or diabetes are better indicators on whether or not your pregnancy may be high risk, regardless of how old or young you are.
Fertility also naturally begins to see a gradual decline in your early 30s.
It's also recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that women under the age of 35 should try to conceive for 12 months before they seek fertility evaluations, and women 35 and over should seek help after 6 months of trying to conceive.
Medically and even historically, age 35 is the milestone in which doctors also begin to classify pregnancies as advanced maternal age.
Although this categorization of advanced maternal age does not always mean that the pregnancy will automatically have any complications and many pregnancies go through just fine.
Although it also prompts the doctors to recommend closer monitoring and additional genetic screenings.
Most doctors consider getting pregnant after age 35 to be high risk.
First-time mothers who are older than 35 have a higher chance of certain problems during their pregnancy.
A woman typically loses 90% of her eggs by the time she is 30 years old. Starting with about 1 to 2 million eggs at birth, the ovarian reserve drops to around 100,000 to 150,000 by age 30, and only about 3% remain by age 40.
While the quantity of eggs decreases drastically in your 20s and early 30s, the decline in egg quality is what most directly impacts fertility as you get older.
