As more women choose to have children after the age of 35, the discussion around "older pregnancy" has become increasingly important. Although women over 35 face more challenges when trying to conceive, with the support of modern assisted reproductive technology, they can still successfully have healthy babies.
The first thing to understand is that older pregnant women face major risks, including gestational diabetes, hypertension, and chromosomal abnormalities. After 35, the incidence of gestational diabetes significantly increases, which can lead to preterm birth or a baby with excessive weight, raising the likelihood of a cesarean section. In addition, pregnancy-related hypertension is another common risk, potentially leading to preeclampsia, which increases the danger for both the mother and baby. Chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, are also more common in pregnancies for women over 35. Early prenatal testing can effectively detect these issues, allowing timely measures to be taken.
In this context, egg donation and surrogacy have become important options for older prospective parents hoping to fulfill their dreams of having children. Take the example of Ms. Li and Mr. Zhang. This couple, both in their forties, faced a decline in ovarian function, making it difficult for Ms. Li to conceive naturally. After many attempts, they decided to turn to COSTAIVF's egg donation program and surrogacy plan to welcome their baby. Through egg donation, Ms. Wang was able to use the eggs from a healthy young woman, and with the help of in vitro fertilization technology, successfully achieve pregnancy. The doctors explained to them that surrogacy was also a legal option they could consider, especially since Ms. Wang may not have been suitable for pregnancy herself. Surrogacy not only solved the physical obstacles but also brought new hope to them.
With the help of COSTAIVF, Mr. Li and Ms. Wang found a suitable egg donor from the egg bank, and later they legally welcomed their own child through surrogacy. When they held their newborn for the first time, all their anxiety and hardship turned into tears of joy. The arrival of this little life was not only the continuation of their love but also the result of their joint efforts. For Mr. Li and Ms. Wang, all of this could not have been achieved without the support and guidance of the professional team at COSTAIVF. They gratefully recall that it was under the care of Dr. Nathan Zhang and his team that they found the egg donor and surrogate mother, and successfully completed the entire process of having a child.
For many couples who wish to have children but face age-related limitations, egg donation is a hopeful option. With the support of COSTAIVF, not only can you choose high-quality eggs from a broad egg bank, but you can also take advantage of advanced embryo transfer technology to achieve your dream of becoming a parent.

Meanwhile, Dr. Nathan Zhang's professional team provides full support and guidance throughout the process, helping each family successfully complete this journey.
