Is 35 a senior birth age?
In modern society, as women attach importance to their careers and speed up their pace of life, many women choose to marry later and have children later. However, a common concept is that women born after the age of 35 belong to the elderly. So, is it true that 35 years old is an advanced childbearing age? The following four aspects are discussed in detail: fertility, pregnancy risk, fetal health and social pressure.
Fertility
The fertility of women will gradually decline with age. Early or late childbirth will affect women's fertility. According to medical research, before the age of 35, women's ability to conceive remained basically stable, almost equal to women in their 20s. However, with the growth of age, especially after the age of 35, women's ability to conceive will gradually decline. This is because the number and quality of female eggs decrease with age, and the ovulation function will also be affected. Therefore, 35 years old is the stage when fertility begins to decline, but it does not mean that pregnancy is impossible.
In addition, specific individual differences need to be considered. Some 35 year old women still maintain good fertility, while some 30 year old women have been affected by fertility decline. Therefore, when considering fertility, we should consider the individual's physiological condition and family planning comprehensively.
Pregnancy risk
A higher age also means a higher risk of pregnancy. Statistics show that women over 35 years old have a relatively increased risk of pregnancy complications. For example, problems such as hypertension, gestational diabetes, premature delivery and placental abruption may be more likely to occur.
In addition, the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities increases with age. For example, a 35 year old woman is twice as likely to have Down syndrome when pregnant as a 30 year old woman. Therefore, it is important to carry out genetic counseling, prenatal screening and prenatal diagnosis when considering childbearing over the age of 35.
Fetal health
Pregnancy of women over 35 years of age may have a certain impact on the health of the fetus. Although not all pregnant women over the age of 35 will face problems, a higher age will still increase the risk of pregnant women suffering from fetal intrauterine growth retardation, lacrimal gland abnormalities, Down syndrome, genetic diseases and other problems.
However, the progress of modern medical technology has provided some guarantees for elderly pregnant women, such as genetic counseling, prenatal screening, genetic testing, etc., which can find potential problems as early as possible, take corresponding medical measures, and reduce the risks during pregnancy and childbirth.
social pressure
Social pressure is an important problem for women over 35 years old to have late childbearing. Because in Chinese traditional culture, women's childbearing age is generally concentrated in their 20s, and late marriage and late childbirth are regarded as a dilemma faced by women who marry and have children later.
At the same time, the society has a common cognitive misunderstanding of the fertility and fetal health problems of women over 35 years old, which will also increase the anxiety and pressure of women who marry late and have children late. However, everyone's life path and values are different, and individual fertility decisions should be respected and understood.
summary
Based on the above analysis, 35 years old belongs to the category of elderly childbearing, but it does not mean that it is impossible to conceive or give birth to healthy babies. The decline of fertility, the increase of pregnancy risk, the consideration of fetal health and the existence of social pressure are all problems that women over 35 years old need to face in late childbirth. Therefore, when considering childbearing, individual physiological conditions and family planning are very important. Reasonably evaluating and using existing medical technology can help women over 35 years old to realize their desire for healthy childbearing.
