Is giving birth in your 30s considered as giving birth at an advanced age?
In recent years, with the social progress and the improvement of women's status, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing. Whether childbearing in their 30s is regarded as elder childbearing has become a hot topic. This article will analyze whether childbearing in the 30s should be regarded as elder childbearing from four aspects of fertility, child health, pregnancy and childbirth risks and social support.
Fertility
Among women in their 30s, fertility is relatively strong. The level of female fertility is mainly related to the quality and quantity of eggs, while the quality of eggs of women in their 30s is generally still good and the quantity is relatively sufficient. Therefore, compared with women in their 20s, their chances of pregnancy did not decrease significantly. In addition, with the progress of medical technology, the application of assisted reproductive technology also provides more reproductive options for women in their 30s.
However, it should be noted that women may face more infertility risks as they grow older. For women who have not given birth at the age of more than 30, it is recommended to carry out fertility examination as soon as possible to assess ovarian function and fertility. If there is a risk of infertility, measures can be taken in time to improve the fertility success rate.
Child health
Compared with women in their 20s, children born to women in their 30s may be healthier in some aspects. The study found that children born to women in their 30s perform better in intelligence, social skills and other aspects, which may be related to the mother's life experience and stability at this stage.
However, some studies have found that children born in their 30s have a slightly higher risk of certain genetic diseases than children born in their 20s. This is mainly related to the decline in egg quality caused by the growth of female age. Therefore, for expectant mothers in their 30s, it is very important to carry out a series of prenatal screening and routine examinations to reduce the risk of children's illness.
Maternity risk
Women in their 30s may face some risks during pregnancy and childbirth. Children born to women in their 30s are more likely to suffer from intrauterine growth retardation, premature delivery and other problems. In addition, women in their 30s are also more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension during pregnancy.
Nevertheless, for healthy women in their 30s, these risks of pregnancy and childbirth can still be reduced through good prenatal care and medical monitoring. It is recommended that expectant mothers in their 30s should have a comprehensive physical examination before planned pregnancy, actively participate in the management of pregnancy and childbirth, and ensure the safety of mothers and babies under the guidance of doctors.
social support
Compared with women in their 20s, women in their 30s tend to be more mature and stable, and social support will be more adequate. They usually have more resources and financial support in their careers and families, and can better cope with the challenges brought by childbirth.
In addition, modern society has also provided more opportunities and support for women in their 30s. The progress of medical technology makes it possible to postpone childbearing, and the society's tolerance for late marriage and late childbirth is also gradually increasing. Many hospitals also provide special care services for elderly pregnant women to ensure that expectant mothers in their 30s can obtain comprehensive medical insurance.
To sum up, although there are some risks in childbearing at the age of more than 30, from the perspective of fertility, child health, pregnancy and childbirth risks and social support, childbearing at the age of more than 30 cannot be regarded as an elderly childbearing. Women can decide the most suitable time for childbearing according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions, without worrying too much about the impact of age on childbearing.
