Main reasons for not advocating elder childbearing
Elderly childbearing refers to the pregnancy and childbearing of women in the age range of 35 years and above. Although some women can successfully conceive and give birth at this age, from a medical point of view, there are a series of risks and problems in giving birth at an advanced age. Therefore, the main reasons for not advocating elder childbearing include: physiological risks, infant health problems, pregnancy pressure and psychological pressure.
Physiological risk
1. Physiological aging: With the growth of age, the female reproductive system will experience a series of changes and aging. The decrease in the number and quality of eggs is likely to reduce the probability of pregnancy and increase the risk of congenital diseases. In addition, the function of various organs of the female body will gradually decline, which is prone to pregnancy complications.
2. Pregnancy complications: Older pregnant women are prone to complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, and placental insufficiency. These diseases have a greater impact on the health of pregnant women and fetuses, and may even lead to adverse consequences, such as premature delivery, low birth weight infants and fetal malformations.
3. Delivery risk: When older pregnant women go through delivery, their uterine muscle tissue is lost and elasticity is weakened, which will lead to more difficult and complex delivery process. At the same time, older pregnant women are increasingly prone to postpartum hemorrhage, slow uterine involution and other problems, which bring greater risks to the health of mothers and infants.
Infant health problems
1. Increased risk of congenital malformation: With the increase of age, the quality of female eggs declines, and the probability of carrying abnormal genes or chromosomal abnormalities increases. This will make the children born to older pregnant women more likely to suffer from some genetic diseases, such as Down syndrome, which will bring greater risks to the health of the children.
2. Decline of immune system: With the increase of age, the immune system function of pregnant women will gradually decline, which is easy to cause the child to be infected during pregnancy. This may have adverse effects on the fetus and increase the incidence of premature, low birth weight infants and neonatal infectious diseases.
3. Mother's health: Older pregnant women are prone to gynecological and obstetric diseases such as pregnancy induced hypertension and gestational diabetes. These diseases pose risks to mother's health, and may even lead to mother's life danger.
Inoculation pressure
1. Time pressure: Aged pregnancy often requires more time and effort. The female ovulation function declines, and it is difficult to get pregnant in a short time, which brings greater pressure to the psychology and life of both spouses.
2. Economic pressure: The elderly may need assisted reproductive technology treatment, such as IVF, which will increase the financial burden of the family. In addition, older pregnant women need more frequent prenatal and gynecological examinations, and medical costs will also increase.
3. Nutrition and health care: Older pregnant women need to pay more attention to their own nutrition and health care to ensure the healthy development of the fetus. This includes reasonable diet, proper exercise and sufficient rest, but it may require more effort for many elderly pregnant women.
Psychological pressure
1. Anxiety about oneself: Older pregnant women face greater pregnancy pressure, and are prone to anxiety, tension and worry during pregnancy. They are afraid of the health problems and complications of the fetus, and question their own ability and physical quality.
2. Impact on family relations: Older pregnant women need more joint efforts and support from both husband and wife, as well as more adjustments to family life. This may bring certain impacts and challenges to the relationship between husband and wife.
3. Anxiety about the future: Older pregnant women are more likely to worry about their health and their ability to take care of their children for a long time. They may feel great pressure, anxiety about the future, and worry that they cannot give enough care and love to their children.
Summary
To sum up, the main reasons for not being recommended include physiological risks, infant health problems, pregnancy pressure and psychological pressure. Older pregnant women are prone to risks such as physiological aging, complications during pregnancy, congenital malformations of infants, and need to bear time pressure and economic pressure. At the same time, they also face psychological pressure such as anxiety about their own health and future, and the impact on family relations. Therefore, when considering fertility, we need to comprehensively consider multiple factors and make prudent decisions.
