Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
1. If possible, avoid postponing the pregnancy. 32 is high time to plan a baby.
2. Fertility potential reduces with the age of the female. At 25, she would be having high fertility potential, which reduces with each year. So yes, at 32, she may face difficulty in conceiving.
3. She has a high chance of developing pregnancy related diabetes. She should make sure she is not overweight and has the right food choices to reduce the risk of developing this complication.
All the best.
PLease feel free to discuss further.
