C-section, middle age play into 2nd child decision

Chongqing resident Su Shu, 35, went for a pre-pregnancy test in March when local media reported that the city was about to allow some couples to have a second child.

Her test results were fine except for a low blood sugar reading. But Su, the mother of an 8-year-old, is wavering over having another child.

"The doctor told me that women at my age should go for tests every two weeks after being pregnant for three months and should undergo an amniotic fluid test because the risk of a fetal anomaly is higher than for younger women," Su said.
