Sweden reported its lowest number of births in 21 years with approximately 99,000 children born, and Ängla Mantel from Karolinska University Hospital emphasized that higher maternal age increases risks of complications such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and cesarean sections.Mikael Ohlin of the National Board of Health and Welfare stated that although the birthrate decline has stabilized, persistent demographic changes demand adaptations in healthcare services, especially in urban areas like Stockholm.The proportion of overweight or obese pregnant women has nearly doubled since the 1990s, now affecting 47 percent and contributing to evolving health challenges.
