- Why is pregnancy in your 30's considered high risk? People are living longer and our bodies stay healthier longer, 30 seems young. All pregnancies can be risky, is it really significantly more dangerous after 30. I know that doctor's require the pregnancy to be monitored by double. you have to have more tests done. I think pregnancy after 30 is a very common now and I haven't seen anything on an increase in newborn death or disease.

-All pregnancies can be risky, is it really significantly more dangerous after 30. A twenty-year-old couple can have a child with birth defects, how much higher are the statistics after 30? On a case by case scenario there are many women in their mid 30's that are way more healthy than some 19-year-old females. Why is age the determining factor? It may be possible that it could be because of the hormone changes and the chemical reactions that the body goes through during pregnancy.....?
