Are births over 30 years old considered as elder births?
With the improvement of living standards and the change of people's ideas, more and more women choose to consider childbearing only in their 30s. However, is childbirth in this age group regarded as elder childbearing? The following discussion will be carried out from four aspects: social concept, medical perspective, risk comparison and hospital policy.
Social concept
According to the traditional concept, women begin to enter the peak of fertility after the age of 30, so childbearing in their 30s is not regarded as the oldest childbearing. However, with the social progress and the change of marriage concept, modern women are more active in their career development and more rational in their family planning. Therefore, some people begin to think that childbearing in their 30s is late and belongs to the category of elder childbearing.
However, the division of childbearing age is not clearly defined, and the diversity of social concepts makes childbearing in the 30s be viewed in different ways by different groups.
Medical perspective
From the medical point of view, childbearing in the 30s is not regarded as the oldest childbearing. According to the definition of the World Health Organization, elder childbearing refers to the childbearing age of women 35 years old and above. Therefore, childbearing in the 30s is still within the normal range of childbearing age.
In addition, the development of modern medicine enables women to enjoy more comprehensive prenatal testing and infant health care services when giving birth in their 30s, which improves the safety of mother and infant childbirth.
However, it is undeniable that women's fertility will gradually decline with age. Therefore, for women who have given birth in their 30s, the time may be more urgent, and they need to pay more attention to their own physiological conditions and reproductive health.
Risk comparison
Compared with the childbearing age of more than 20 years old, the childbearing age of more than 30 years old has certain risks. Women in their 30s may have a higher risk of pregnancy complications, such as uterine fibroids, gestational diabetes, etc. At the same time, the probability of chromosomal abnormalities and congenital diseases will also increase with age.
However, these risks do not mean that childbirth in the 30s will inevitably face problems. Many factors, such as individual physiological condition and family heredity, will affect the fertility. Regular prenatal examination and scientific lifestyle can effectively reduce risks and ensure the health of mothers and infants.
Hospital policy
In real life, some hospitals may have different definitions of childbearing age. Some hospitals regard women over 30 years old as elderly mothers, and will pay more close attention and careful inspection to women of older childbearing age.
However, most hospitals do not regard childbearing in their 30s as elder childbearing, but judge and deal with it according to the specific situation. Doctors will make scientific birth plans and testing programs based on individual physique, physiological conditions and family genetics to ensure the birth safety of each pregnant woman and baby.
Summary
To sum up, whether childbearing in the 30s is regarded as elder childbearing has certain subjectivity and variability. Social attitudes, medical perspectives, risk comparison, hospital policies and other factors will affect the determination of childbearing age.
Although childbearing in the 30s is not widely regarded as elder childbearing, attention should be paid to the possible physiological risks with age, and the risks should be reduced through scientific lifestyle and medical care to ensure the health of mothers and infants.
