<p>Objetivo: analisar a associação entre complicações e idade materna avançada durante a gestação. Método: estudo retrospectivo baseado na análise de prontuários de mulheres em idade avançada que tiveram parto em um hospital-escola do Sul do Brasil. A coleta ocorreu de 2015 a 2018. Realizaram-se análises recorrendo aos testes Qui-Quadrado de Pearson e/ou exato de Fisher, U de Mann-Whitney e razão de prevalência. Resultados: avaliaram-se 1336 prontuários. As complicações HAS pré-gestacional, pré-eclâmpsia e DMG apresentaram maiores médias de idade materna. Mulheres acima de 40 anos apresentaram 1,06 vezes maior probabilidade de desenvolver pré-eclâmpsia e 1,33 vezes de desenvolver crescimento intrauterino restrito. Conclusão: O aumento da idade mostrou relação com complicações, principalmente em gestantes acima de 40 anos. É necessário, portanto, atenção da enfermagem a mulheres nessa faixa etária, considerando a tendência crescente de gestações em idade avançada.</p>
Objective: to describe the experiences of pregnant women at advanced maternal age assisted in a private hospital. Methods: a qualitative study, carried out with 17 women, by means of semi-structured interviews via telephone. The data was submitted to Thematic Content Analysis. Results: the participants were between 35 and 40 years old. Two categories emerged: Experiencing pregnancy as a couple and family: the preparation of the couple for pregnancy and childbirth (Pregnancy after 35 years old as an element of potentiality; Change in the family routine for the baby’s arrival) and Experiencing pregnancy and its changes: perceiving pregnancy as a healthy and calm experience (Change in emotional patterns related to the pregnancy process). Conclusion: experiencing pregnancy late in life was not a concern for women. Maturity and favorable socioeconomic conditions may have a protective influence on the course of healthy pregnancies in women attending the private health service.
