Pregnancy over 45 years of age for a woman is not beyond the realms of possibility.  With careful planning and approximately 5 months of preparation it is, absolutely, possible to produce an egg that will fertilize and develop into a healthy child.

Each woman is endowed with, literally innumerable eggs when she is born, and there are quite literally thousands of them left in our ovaries when we reach our 40’s.  Contrary to common belief any one of those eggs could be your healthy baby.

Healthy eggs are not an accident.  A healthy environment free of stress and toxins are a very positive start.  If you also assure your body of being hormonally balanced with good nutrition and the appropriate antioxidants you hedge the opportunity for conceiving even more.

Five months, approximately, before ovulation the growth of the follicle will double in size.  It will take only 30 days for it to double again.  The changes that take place during the next three months are innumerable.  Finally two to three weeks prior to ovulation the follicle with become receptive to FSH.  The follicle will be affected by FSH by doubling in size again producing estrogen and then the egg is released.

There are things you can do to assure the healthy development of your egg.  Hormones need to be present in order for the production of an egg to take place.  The ingesting of non-organic dairy or meat products can disrupt the balance of hormones needed for follicles to grow.

Pesticides sprayed on our vegetables and fruit, artificial flavors, colors and preservatives used in store bought foods can imitate hormones.  Many of the common cleaning products and cosmetics have petroleum based chemicals that can affect the messages your body is sending to its entire systems.  You really must even be aware of what is in your over the counter and prescriptions drugs.  Your body is sensitive and if it gets the wrong message it will not cooperate.

Starting with a 28-day colon, liver, kidney, parasite and heavy metal cleansing program is a good way to free your body of unwanted toxins.  I would suggest this for almost anyone, but especially if you taken any fertility drugs, or had an IVF; both will affect your hormones which in turn will affect your body’s attempts to ovulate.

Earlier we talked about proper nutrition and it’s affect on your body. There is a good chance, if you eat like a Westerner, that you are not getting the minerals and vitamins needed to stay healthy. Organic foods are a good start but all women, especially mature mothers, need to start with supplements before they are pregnant in order to assure their babies the health they deserve.

Walking into the supermarket or drugstore and buying nutritional supplements is a nice idea but many of the over the counter vitamins have chemicals and only mimic real nutrients. Your body is not able to absorb the vitamins needed to keep you healthy during your pregnancy, and beyond. I would suggest that you try to use vitamins that contain super foods. Superfoods have been scientifically recognized to provide health benefits and be rich in the nutrients your body needs.

I suggest, for mature mothers to be, “Alkagreens Plus” a green superfood mix. In addition I like to see them try “AntioxiPlus” which consists, primarily of fruit superfood and has an antioxidant. Give your body the tools it needs and it will reward you with the performance you want.

Relieve stress, maintain a healthy lifestyle, cleanse your body and utilize superfoods supplements to assure a healthy pregnancy over 45 years of age. There is more information I’d like to share with you at: http://www.pregnancyafter40etc.com/pregnancy-over-45/
