It’s a risky business, yet more older women are choosing to become mums

Even if they do become pregnant, “overall the risks are probably higher today compared to many years ago”, says Associate Professor Alex Polyakov, an obstetrician, gynaecologist and medical director of Genea in Melbourne.

Elective egg freezing isn’t having an impact, says ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­Professor Georgina Chambers, director of the National Perinatal Epidemiology and Statistics Unit at the University of NSW.

The most common issue Polyakov sees, from women looking to freeze their eggs, is the “unavailability” of a good male partner.
