How to cope with childbirth at the age of 35?
With the impact of social and economic development and the extension of women's professional age, more and more women decide to have children over the age of 35. Different from childbearing in young age, childbearing at the age of 35 faces a series of physical and psychological challenges. However, through reasonable planning and coping measures, women can still enjoy healthy pregnancy and motherhood. This article will discuss how to cope with the 35 year old childbirth from four aspects: lifestyle, medical examination, nutrition adjustment and psychological support.
Adjust lifestyle
Lifestyle is very important for pregnant healthy babies, especially for women over 35 years old. First of all, it is essential to establish regular work and rest time. Ensuring adequate sleep and rest time will help to adjust endocrine balance. Secondly, proper physical exercise can enhance physical fitness, improve metabolism and blood circulation, and contribute to the delivery and nutrition supply of embryos. In addition, the purpose of avoiding or restricting bad habits such as smoking and drinking is to reduce the adverse effects on embryonic development. Finally, keeping a happy mood is conducive to the health of the body and reduces the adverse effects of mental stress during pregnancy on the fetus.
Adjusting lifestyle is a good starting point, but it cannot replace medical examination.
Regular medical examination
Regular medical examination is an important guarantee for the successful pregnancy of 35 year old women. Through close cooperation with doctors, we can understand our own physical conditions and pay special attention to reproductive health. Women over 35 years old are more likely to suffer from irregular menstruation, decreased ovarian function and other problems. Medical examination can help identify and solve these problems as soon as possible.
Some common examinations include cervical smear, mammography, gynecological ultrasound and blood examination. These tests help to eliminate potential health problems and ensure that the physical condition is suitable for pregnancy.
In addition, if assisted reproductive technology is needed, such as in vitro fertilization or IVF, medical examination can also provide doctors with more key information to ensure safety and success.
Reasonably adjust nutrition
35 year old women need to pay special attention to diet and nutrition during preparation and pregnancy. First of all, it is very important to take reasonable intake of protein, minerals and vitamins to support the healthy development of embryos. Secondly, appropriate intake of foods rich in folic acid, such as green leafy vegetables, walnuts, etc., will help prevent the baby's neural tube development defects. In addition, eating more foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, is beneficial to the development of baby's brain and vision.
However, nutrient intake does not mean that the more you eat, the better. Women over 35 years old should control their weight and avoid obesity or over nutrition, which will help reduce the risk of complications such as gestational diabetes and hypertension.
Provide psychological support
Pregnancy at the age of 35 may face more anxiety and stress. Therefore, it is very important to provide psychological support. Sharing your feelings with your spouse, family and friends is a way to relieve stress. In addition, you can seek the help of professional psychological tutors, who can provide professional advice and suggestions. Taking prenatal education courses can also help expectant mothers master scientific parenting knowledge and coping skills, and enhance self-confidence.
It is necessary to recognize the existing risks and challenges and take positive measures to deal with them. Through lifestyle adjustment, regular medical examination, reasonable diet adjustment and psychological support, women over 35 can better meet the stage of pregnancy and baby rearing, and prepare for the health and happiness of their children.
