Looking for Pregnancy After Thirty? 5 Essential Steps You Need to Know!
We often hear that getting pregnant after thirty is difficult, or that “you missed the train,” or “you should have done it earlier”… but let me tell you the surprise: recent studies have proven that pregnancy after thirty has many advantages!
How so? Simply put, mothers who get pregnant after thirty tend to live up to 95% longer compared to those who got pregnant in their twenties. Also, children born from pregnancies after thirty tend to have better mental health, less exposure to violence, and higher levels of awareness and intelligence. This is mostly because the mother has reached a greater stage of maturity and knowledge, and has managed to get rid of many of the pressures she carried in her twenties.
So what should we do to prepare our bodies and boost fertility?
Here are 5 important tips, according to Dr. Riham El Shal, Specialist in Obstetrics, Gynecology, IVF, and Infertility:
Step One: Stop bad habits.
We all know our bad habits: unhealthy eating, constant fast food, staying up until dawn, some still smoking, and neglecting body and health care.
Step Two: Weight!
You don’t have to just lose weight or gain weight without control. You need to know where you stand on the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale. If your weight is too low or too high, this can affect your chances of pregnancy and make your body unable to handle pregnancy and childbirth. So you need to be in the healthy weight range.
Step Three: Finish your laser treatments!
To enter fertility in the best possible condition, you need to finish any procedures that could affect you or the baby, such as laser treatments or other interventions that might have unstudied effects.
Step Four: Take care of your teeth!
If your teeth hurt at night, don’t delay. Studies show that gum infections may cause early miscarriage, and during the first three months of pregnancy, doctors can’t give you the medications you might need, so get treated now.

Step Five: Destress — remove stress from your life!
Do you know what pregnancy is? It’s not a test or hard work; it’s an adventure that requires psychological calm. Excessive stress affects your body and hormones, making you enter this beautiful experience carrying many worries. So relax, stay away from tension, and keep your mind peaceful.
And along with destressing, an important point: sleep!
Melatonin, which is produced during sleep, is one of the most important substances that nourish the egg. Its deficiency can cause poor egg quality or even premature aging of the eggs. We all know how much sleep we lose because of phones and screens. You must sleep well, seriously, no joking.
A real experience…
One of the cases I followed had three years of delayed conception, tried several doctors, took medications, did tests, and her ovulation was inconsistent—sometimes good, sometimes not. Once her period was late; she thought it would come. After three days, nothing happened. She started doubting and took a home pregnancy test… it was positive! Even when she went to the doctor, she couldn’t believe it. She was following our videos and started feeling that the doctor she was seeing wasn’t focused, wasn’t making a clear plan, and didn’t even remember what medications she had been given the previous month!
Why do we say all this?
Because preparing for pregnancy after thirty isn’t impossible, it just requires smart steps. You need to be confident that you’re not late; on the contrary, you are at the right time if you start correctly. Pregnancy in the thirties is not a shame or a risk, but it must be with awareness and real preparation.
