Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Geriatric pregnancy is definitely dangerous. Especially in pregnancy above 50 years of age there are various medical complications which are likely to complicate pregnancy.

Let me know which age group geriatric pregnancy you are exactly talking about. Is this pregnancy with donor eggs / Surrogacy?
