Pregnancy over the age of 35 is certainly more difficult than in younger age.

It is important that women who have problems with chronic illnesses make an overview before they decide to become a mother. Careful monitoring during pregnancy and delivery will ensure optimal outcome to most of the women. Family is the primary community of society that through the development of an individual person has an impact on the overall development of society. Therefore, the role of the state must be the protection and provision of family welfare achieved through the methods of family policy. Family policy is a set of public policies that by implementing their measures directly affect the family living standard. Economic and social changes had an impact on the role of women in the family. Women had less rights that men and they have been regarded traditionally and had the role of mother and housewife. Today, both women and men have equal rights and obligations in the family. The family living standard can be achieved by improving economic, health, social and other standards. The ability to harmonize family life and business life is provided by family policy through the realization of various rights and benefits. Among the rights, the most important services are benefits for children. In countries with a lower level of benefits for children, women's employment is lower. In that case women are more likely to take on the role of mother and housewives. This results in a greater disparity between the family and business life of women than men. Because of the different perspectives there is a huge heterogeneity between family policies in European countries.
