Mother issues Advanced age mothers also present problems such as health issues, fatigue and sleeping problems. A larger percentage of women of advanced and very advanced age also reported having had depression prior to the pregnancy. This ﬁnding could simply be related to their having experienced more years of life, but could also be related to the higher rates of risk factors for depression, such as infertility, unfortunate timing of pregnancy. All these factors contribute to further consequences.
