Definition of elder childbearing
Elderly childbearing generally refers to the pregnancy and childbirth of women over 30 years old. In the past few decades, with the development of social economy and science and technology, more and more couples choose to postpone pregnancy and childbirth to their 30s or later. Therefore, whether childbirth in their 30s is considered as elder childbirth has become a topic of great concern.
Physiological changes
With the growth of age, women's physiological function will gradually decline. In their 30s, women's ovarian function began to decline, and ovulation was not as frequent as in their 20s. This means that the chance of pregnancy is reduced and it may take longer to conceive. In addition, the quality of eggs of women in their 30s will also decline, increasing the risk of embryo implantation failure and genetic diseases.
However, every woman has different physiological conditions. Some women can still maintain good fertility in their 30s, while some women may have fertility disorders in their 20s. Therefore, there is no clear dividing standard for whether to classify childbearing over 30 years old as elder childbearing, which needs to be comprehensively evaluated in combination with individual conditions.
Psychological and social factors
In addition to physiological factors, psychological and social factors also affect people in their 30s who give birth. In society, most people hold a negative attitude towards the elderly childbearing, believing that childbearing in their 30s will increase the difficulty of child rearing, and will also increase the physical and mental burden of parents.
In addition, couples in their 30s usually have made some progress in the workplace, and they may have to face the dual pressure of career and family. Economic conditions, family support, age and the distance between children's education and other factors will affect their choice of childbearing time.
However, childbearing in the 30s also has its unique advantages. For example, couples may have more stable economic foundation, stable family and career, which have a positive impact on the growth of children.
Medical support and assistance
It is not easy for couples in their 30s to choose to have children. They can seek the advice and assistance of medical experts. For example, in physical examination, women can know their fertility and egg quality through blood testing. If there is ovulation problem, ovulation promoting drugs or artificial pregnancy technology can be used to increase the chance of pregnancy.
In addition, the hospital also provides more comprehensive prenatal examination for elderly women to ensure the safety during pregnancy and delivery. The doctor will formulate the corresponding prenatal examination program according to the age and childbearing history of the woman, and provide necessary treatment and supervision according to the situation.
In the process of childbirth, doctors and nurses will also provide necessary support and guidance to help couples overcome various doubts and troubles during pregnancy. With the support of the medical team, couples in their 30s feel more secure and confident in the process of childbirth.
Summary
To sum up, although childbirth in the 30s may face some physical, psychological and social challenges, it is not necessarily considered as elder childbirth. The definition of elder childbearing needs to consider individual conditions, and ensure the safety of mothers and babies through medical examination and professional medical assistance. For couples in their 30s, they can make fertility decisions under professional guidance according to their own actual conditions and needs.
