How to deal with the risks and measures of elder childbearing

At the same time, antenatal examination shall be carried out regularly to monitor relevant indicators during pregnancy, and abnormal conditions shall be found and handled in a timely manner. Consult genetic experts as early as possible to carry out relevant genetic consultation and prenatal diagnosis, and help families make wise decisions.
