Risks and precautions of 47 year old childbearing
In modern society, with the improvement of women's social status and the change of fertility concept, more and more women choose to be pregnant at a higher age. However, for 47 year old women, childbirth also has certain risks, which need special attention. This article will elaborate on the risks and precautions of 47 year old childbirth from the four aspects of pre pregnancy preparation, pregnancy risks, delivery risks and postpartum care.
1、 Preparation before pregnancy
1. Physical examination: Before deciding on pregnancy, a 47 year old woman should have a comprehensive physical examination, including cardiovascular system, respiratory system, endocrine system, etc. Ensure that your physical condition can withstand the pressure of pregnancy.
2. Genetic counseling: As the age increases, the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities also increases. Women need genetic counseling to understand their own and their spouse's family genetic diseases, and make psychological preparations.
3. Supplemental nutrition: Before pregnancy, women need to strengthen the intake of nutrition, ensure the balance of various important nutrients in the body, and provide sufficient nutrients for the healthy development of the fetus.
2、 Pregnancy risk
1. Elderly pregnancy complications: 47 year old women will face various complications during pregnancy, such as pregnancy hypertension, gestational diabetes and placental insufficiency. These complications will cause damage to the health of pregnant women, and will also have adverse effects on the fetus.
2. Fetal chromosomal abnormalities: With the increase of age, the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities will also increase, such as Down syndrome. It is recommended that 47 year old expectant mothers conduct prenatal non-invasive gene testing to find abnormalities as soon as possible.
3. Risk of premature birth: Older pregnancies tend to lead to premature birth, and 47 year old women need to pay more attention to the work of fetal protection, such as staying in bed, following the guidance of doctors, and regular prenatal examination, to reduce the risk of premature birth.
3、 Delivery risk
1. Risk of dystocia: Due to age, the ligament relaxation of female pelvis is poor, which may lead to dystocia during delivery. It is suggested that expectant mothers learn prenatal care knowledge in advance, actively cooperate with doctors to guide, and choose appropriate delivery methods.
2. Risk of postpartum hemorrhage: After delivery, the elderly expectant mother has a higher risk of postpartum hemorrhage due to poor uterine contractility. The hospital should be equipped with a professional team and prepare relevant rescue measures in advance to ensure the safety of mothers and babies.
3. Postpartum recovery: The increase in age will affect the speed and quality of postpartum recovery. Prospective mothers need to actively participate in postpartum rehabilitation exercises to speed up the recovery process.
4、 Postpartum care
1. Balanced nutrition: After delivery, expectant mothers need to take in appropriate amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals to promote wound healing and breast milk secretion.
2. Psychological counseling: Older expectant mothers are prone to anxiety, depression and other psychological diseases. Psychological counseling should be carried out in time after delivery to help expectant mothers adjust their mentality and maintain good mental health.
3. Breastfeeding: If there are no special circumstances, expectant mothers should try to choose breastfeeding, which can not only provide adequate nutrition, but also help to improve the close relationship between mother and baby.
Summary
There are certain risks and precautions in childbirth at the age of 47, and expectant mothers need to pay special attention to pre pregnancy preparation, pregnancy risks, delivery risks and postpartum care. Physical examination, genetic counseling and nutrition supplementation should be carried out as soon as possible. During pregnancy, we should pay close attention to the elderly pregnancy complications and fetal health, reasonably choose the delivery mode and pay attention to postpartum recovery. The health of mothers and babies needs the joint care of family members and medical staff to ensure the safety and smooth delivery of 47 year old babies.
