Physical effects of childbirth at the age of 39 on children
With the social progress and the improvement of living standards, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing. However, for children born at the age of 39, there may be some physical effects that cannot be ignored.
1. Hereditary effects
Age will have a significant impact on the quality of female eggs. With the growth of age, the number and quality of female eggs will decline, leading to an increase in the number of chromosomal abnormalities, increasing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities at birth. Chromosome abnormalities may lead to a series of genetic diseases, such as Down syndrome, congenital heart disease, etc.
In addition, 39 year old women are more likely to suffer from genetic diseases caused by gene mutations, such as polycystic ovary syndrome. If the mother suffers from some genetic disease, the risk of the child's disease will also increase in the case of old age childbirth.
2. Health risks of children
In addition to genetic effects, children born at the age of 39 are also at risk of suffering from other non genetic diseases. Due to the increasing age of the mother, the possible complications and high-risk situations during pregnancy will also increase. For example, hypertension, gestational diabetes, placental insufficiency, etc. These complications during pregnancy may affect the healthy development of the fetus, and even threaten the life of the child.
In addition, children born at the age of 39 may also face psychological and emotional problems during their growth. Because parents are older, they may not be able to devote more energy and time to accompany their children as young parents do, which may have a certain negative impact on the physical and mental development of children.
3. Children's education
Children born at the age of 39 may face some educational problems when entering school age. Because parents are older, they may have different ideas and expectations for the growth and education of their children from young parents. Compared with young parents, they may be more worried about their children's future, and more pursue their children's achievements and competitiveness. This kind of high expectations and excessive attention to children may bring pressure to children and affect their self-confidence and learning motivation.
In addition, children's home education environment may also be affected. As parents are older, their physical strength, energy and time are limited, and they may not be able to provide enough company and guidance to their children. This may affect children's growth and learning effect.
4. Parental rearing responsibility
Children born at the age of 39 also bring greater parenting responsibilities to parents. Compared with young parents, they may need more energy and physical strength to cope with their children's needs and growth. However, with the growth of age, parents' physical and health conditions may have problems, which will have a certain impact on parents' parenting ability.
In addition, older parents may also mean that they may not be able to provide adequate financial support for their children's future growth. Compared with young parents, they may not be able to provide better educational resources, medical security and living conditions for their children.
Summary
Childbearing at the age of 39 has certain effects on children's health, including genetic effects and health risks. In addition, they may face educational problems and parental rearing responsibilities may be troubled. Therefore, for couples who are ready to give birth at an advanced age, it is necessary to clearly understand the related risks and difficulties, make full psychological and physical preparations, and pay close attention to the physical and mental health development of children.
