Is there any risk for Beijing's elderly childbearing?
With the development of society and the change of population structure, more and more couples choose to have children later. In Beijing, the capital of China and a city with strong comprehensive strength, it is also increasingly common for the elderly to have children. However, whether there are risks in elder childbearing is worth our in-depth discussion.
1. Maternal health risks
Older pregnant women generally refer to women over 35 years old. With the growth of age, the functions of various organs of the female body gradually decline, and the difficulty and risk of pregnancy will also increase. For example, women over 35 are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, which will increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. In addition, older pregnant women also have a greater risk of miscarriage and premature delivery, and their children may face more health problems at birth.
In order to solve the health problems of the elderly pregnant and lying in women, Beijing hospitals actively promote the construction of the elderly pregnant and lying in women specialty, and provide all-round medical services specifically for this group, including comprehensive physical examination, personalized prenatal examination and guidance, to ensure the health of the elderly pregnant and lying in women and the fetus.
2. Risk of fetal health
The fetus of elderly pregnant women also faces certain health risks. Studies have shown that the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos increases with the age of the mother. Chromosome abnormalities will bring developmental defects and risks of chromosome diseases to embryos, such as Down syndrome.
Scientific research institutions and hospitals in Beijing have conducted a number of studies to reduce the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities by means of gene detection and embryo transfer technology. The introduction of these technologies provides a feasible choice for the elderly pregnant women, which can make them more comfortable to welcome the arrival of new life.
3. Social and family pressure
The elderly childbirth not only involves the health problems of pregnant women and fetuses, but also brings certain social and family pressure to both spouses. Older childbearing requires greater economic investment, time and energy, and has a heavy burden on families. At the same time, it may be necessary to face the incomprehension or doubt of family, friends and society, and even the pressure of employment and career development.
However, Beijing's social environment and government policies are relatively inclusive. Many companies and institutions will provide maternity leave and parental leave for employees, and the subsidies and welfare benefits are relatively good. In addition, the social atmosphere in Beijing has gradually accepted the concept of elderly childbearing, giving more support and encouragement to couples over 35 years old.
4. Psychological pressure and family support
Older pregnant women and their families often face greater psychological pressure. Worrying about pregnancy complications, fetal health problems and life changes will bring anxiety and pressure to them. At this time, family support is particularly important. The understanding and companionship of family members and partners can help pregnant women adjust their mentality and reduce pressure.
Hospitals in Beijing also attach importance to mental health and provide psychological counseling and support services for elderly pregnant women. A professional psychologist will help pregnant women and families to relieve pressure, establish a positive emotional state, and maintain good mental health.
Summary
Although Beijing, as a modern city, has made a lot of efforts in the elderly childbearing, there are still some risks in the elderly childbearing. The health problems of pregnant women and fetuses, social and family pressure and psychological pressure all need our sufficient attention and support. It is hoped that with the development of science and technology and the progress of social concepts, the risk of elder childbearing will continue to decrease, and more couples will realize their childbearing aspirations.
