Does childbirth in the 30s belong to the scope of elder childbearing?
In today's society, it is more and more common for women to have children in their 30s. However, with the growth of age, women's fertility will gradually decline, which has caused people to discuss whether childbirth in their 30s belongs to the scope of older children. This article will elaborate on this from four aspects: physiological factors, medical observation, fertility risks and social concepts.
1、 Physiological factors
Female fertility mainly depends on the quantity and quality of eggs in the ovary. With the increase of age, the number and quality of eggs in female ovaries will gradually decrease. This has led to an increase in the difficulty of female pregnancy and a decrease in the success rate. Women in their 30s have entered the physiological advanced age stage in terms of fertility. Compared with women in their 20s, their fertility has declined significantly.
In addition, with the growth of age, the functions of various systems of the female body will also decline. For example, uterine contractility, pelvic blood flow and hormone levels will be affected, which may increase the difficulty of pregnancy and fertility risk.
However, even if the fertility of women in their 30s declines, most women can still conceive and have healthy babies.
2、 Medical observation
Many medical observation studies show that women in their 30s have no obvious reproductive risk compared with women in other age groups. For example, according to the data of a medical center, most women in their 30s can successfully conceive and give birth to healthy babies. This shows that childbearing in the 30s does not necessarily belong to the scope of elder childbearing.
In addition, the progress of modern medical technology has also provided more opportunities for women in their 30s to have children. For example, assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF can greatly improve the success rate of fertility and reduce the risk of fertility. This means that having children in their 30s is not exactly the same as having children at an advanced age.
3、 Fertility risk
Although the childbearing of women in their 30s may not belong to the range of older childbearing, compared with those in their 20s, there are still some fertility risks. For example, women in their 30s may be more likely to face chromosome abnormalities, miscarriage, premature delivery and pregnancy complications. Although these risks exist, they are still relatively low on the whole and do not affect the smooth pregnancy and childbirth of most women.
4、 Social concept
In the past, the social concept believed that women should give birth in their 20s, and giving birth in their 30s was considered to be an elder child. However, with the development of society and the enhancement of women's independent consciousness, more and more women choose to have children in their 30s. This is mainly because modern women's pursuit of career development and economic independence has led to the postponement of childbearing age.
Therefore, whether childbearing in the 30s belongs to the scope of elder childbearing is not only a matter of physiological factors and medical observation, but also involves the change of social concepts. In today's society, childbearing at the age of more than 30 has gradually become a normal phenomenon, and is no longer generally regarded as elder childbearing.
Summary
To sum up, although the fertility and fertility risks of women in their 30s have increased compared with those in their 20s, they cannot simply be classified as elderly childbearing. With the progress of modern medical technology and the change of social concepts, most women in their 30s can still successfully conceive and give birth to healthy babies. Therefore, although there are some physiological changes and risks in childbearing at the age of more than 30, it does not belong to the scope of elderly childbearing.
