OBGYNDoc
Minneapolis, MN
Female, 36
I am a practicing Obstetrician and Gynecologist, providing care for women in all stages of life. Approximately half of my practice consists of pregnancy-related care, including routine prenatal care, high risk obstetrics, and delivering babies at all hours of the day. The other half consists of gynecologic care, which ranges from routine annual check-ups to contraception and menopause. I perform many surgeries, including laparoscopies and hysterectomies.
I'm not able to answer this question because it varies so much by geography, where the procedure is performed (hospital vs outpatient setting), timing in pregnancy when it is performed. Roughly speaking however, one would make approximately the same amount as when performing a D&C for a miscarriage.

Share Answer: 
Yes, this would certainly be considered a high risk pregnancy. As maternal age increases, the risk of complications exponentially rises. I would be very concerned for conditions such as gestational diabetes, hypertension and pre-eclampsia, abruption, placental insufficiency, intrauterine growth restriction. She would require very close surveillance throughout the pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester.

You need to make an appointment with your physician.
Share Answer: 
The doctor can give you an estimated date of conception, but it will depend on how regular her cycles are, and when she ovulated.
