The potential risk of ultra old childbearing on the mother
With the development of society and the improvement of medical conditions, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, and super old childbearing (generally over 35 years old) is gradually becoming a trend. However, there are some potential risks to the mother in terms of ultra old childbearing.
First of all, very old pregnant women are prone to pregnancy complications. Due to the decline of ovarian function, very old pregnant women are prone to pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational diabetes and other diseases. In addition, very old pregnant women are prone to anemia, urinary tract infection and other problems after pregnancy, which increases the discomfort during pregnancy.
Secondly, the physical resistance of very old pregnant women is relatively low. With the growth of age, the function of the immune system deteriorates, and very old pregnant women are vulnerable to virus and bacterial infections, such as colds and influenza. These infections will not only cause physical discomfort to pregnant women themselves, but also may affect the health of the fetus.
In addition, the delivery risk of very old pregnant women is higher. Due to the decline of uterine function and pelvic muscle strength, ultra old pregnant women will face greater risk of dystocia during delivery, and may need to carry out unconventional delivery methods such as caesarean section. For some very old pregnant women with chronic diseases, the condition may be aggravated during childbirth, or even lead to serious consequences.
How to avoid the risk of super old childbearing
In order to reduce the potential risks of ultra old childbearing to mothers, pregnant women need to take some measures to avoid these risks.
First of all, very old pregnant women should have a comprehensive physical examination before preparing for pregnancy. Physical examination includes understanding the physical condition of pregnant women, checking blood indicators, heart, lung function, etc. to assess whether the physical condition of pregnant women is suitable for pregnancy.
Secondly, the ultra old pregnant women should have regular prenatal examination and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and guidance. Prenatal examination can detect and deal with pregnancy complications in time, and take measures in advance to prevent disease deterioration.
In addition, very old pregnant women need to maintain good living habits, including balanced diet, moderate exercise, adequate rest, etc. A reasonable lifestyle helps to enhance the body's immunity and disease resistance, and reduce the risk of disease.
The potential risk of very old childbearing to the fetus
In addition to the potential risks to the mother, there are also some potential risks to the health of the fetus.
First of all, the fetus of very old pregnant women has a higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities. With the increase of age, the probability of the fetus with chromosomal abnormalities in ultra old pregnant women will also increase, such as Down syndrome.
Secondly, the fetus of very old pregnant women is prone to premature delivery, birth defects and other problems. As the physical condition of pregnant women is affected to varying degrees, the development and growth of the fetus may be affected to a certain extent, resulting in premature delivery, birth defects and other problems.
How to avoid the risk of ultra old childbearing on the fetus
In order to reduce the potential risks to the fetus caused by ultra old childbirth, the ultra old pregnant women can take the following measures:
First of all, very old pregnant women can receive genetic testing and fetal screening before pregnancy. These examinations can help pregnant women understand whether there are chromosome abnormalities and other problems in the fetus, and take timely measures to intervene.
Secondly, very old pregnant women need to maintain a healthy lifestyle from early pregnancy, including smoking and drinking cessation, balanced diet, reasonable nutrition supplementation, etc. A reasonable lifestyle will help improve the health of the fetus.
In addition, ultra old pregnant women can also receive more frequent prenatal examinations to detect and deal with fetal abnormalities in a timely manner. Doctors can formulate prenatal intervention programs suitable for pregnant women according to the examination results to reduce the risk of illness.
Summary
There are certain potential risks for both mothers and fetuses in ultra old childbearing. For mothers, complications during pregnancy, decreased resistance and increased risk of delivery are the main risk factors. In order to avoid these risks, ultra old pregnant women can carry out comprehensive physical examination, regular prenatal examination and actively cooperate with doctors. For the fetus, chromosome abnormalities, premature delivery and birth defects are the main risk factors. Pregnant women can avoid these risks by taking measures such as gene testing, fetal screening, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and receiving frequent prenatal examinations. Over age childbirth needs to be treated with caution to ensure the health and safety of mothers and babies.
