Research suggests that women who have children after the age of 33 may show signs of biological resilience, including slower cellular ageing and better long-term health outcomes. However, medical experts emphasize that late pregnancy itself does not directly increase lifespan, and overall health, lifestyle, and access to medical care play a more important role. Factors such as balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and proper medical guidance are essential for healthy ageing. Dr Surabhi, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Motherhood Hospital, Motherhood hospital, Kharghar, advises women to focus on overall well-being and informed pregnancy planning rather than considering late pregnancy as a strategy for longevity.
