The challenge of super old childbearing to the stability of husband wife relationship and family
Over age childbearing (usually referring to the pregnancy of women aged 35 and above) is becoming more and more common, which has brought a series of challenges to the husband wife relationship and family stability. This article will elaborate on these challenges from the aspects of physical and mental health, economic pressure, family role transformation and social pressure, and provide some methods to deal with family relations.
Physical and mental health
There are some special risks and challenges in the birth of the very old compared with the birth of the ordinary age. Psychologically, women may face negative emotions such as anxiety, fear and pressure, and worry about their physical condition, the health of the fetus and whether they can be competent for the role of mother. Physically, aging may increase the risk of complications during pregnancy, such as hypertension, diabetes and premature delivery. In addition, the higher risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities also needs to be considered.
In order to meet these challenges, couples need long-term psychological preparation and mutual support. They can seek professional psychological counseling and guidance to help them adjust their mentality and reduce anxiety. In addition, regular physical examination and communication with doctors are also very important to ensure the smooth progress of pregnancy and childbirth.
Economic pressure
As couples grow older, they may face greater economic pressure. They may need to pay higher medical costs and carry out more pregnancy monitoring and testing. In addition, children's education and future support need to be considered. These additional expenses may have a significant impact on the economic stability and family budget of both spouses.
In order to cope with economic pressure, couples can plan and reserve funds in advance. They can make a reasonable budget and ensure that it is sufficient, and find appropriate financial plans to meet the needs of children's education and future development. In addition, they can also seek resources such as family support and government welfare to alleviate economic pressure.
Family role transformation
Over age childbearing may lead to changes in the family roles of both spouses. Parents may need more time and energy to take care of their children, especially in their early growth stage. This may reduce the time that couples can spend on their own personal and emotional development. The relationship between husband and wife may also be affected, and even tension and disharmony may occur.
In order to handle the family relationship well, the husband and wife can negotiate and understand with each other and share the responsibility of childcare. They can allocate time for family and work, and reserve time for themselves to get along with husband and wife. In addition, they can seek external support, such as family members, friends and nurseries, to help them take care of their children, so as to reduce stress and maintain a stable relationship between husband and wife.
social pressure
Over age childbearing may be questioned and pressured by society. Both husband and wife may face criticism, doubt and questioning from people around them, questioning their decisions and abilities. This kind of external pressure may have a negative impact on the marital relationship and family stability.
In order to cope with social pressure, both husband and wife can stick to their beliefs and support each other. They can find and join the community that supports super old mothers and dads, and exchange and share experiences with couples with similar childbearing experiences. In addition, they can also seek psychological counseling and professional advice to help them better deal with social pressure and maintain family stability.
Summary
Over age childbearing has brought many challenges to husband wife relationship and family stability. When facing the challenges of physical and mental health, economic pressure, family role change and social pressure, both husband and wife can handle the family relationship well through psychological preparation, economic planning, mutual support and professional advice. What is important is that the husband and wife need to understand and negotiate with each other, maintain a positive attitude, and seek external support to meet these challenges, so as to maintain the stability of the husband and wife relationship and the happiness of the family.
