Older childbearing at the age of two children
With the liberalization of the two child policy of the Chinese government, more and more couples began to consider welcoming the arrival of the second child. At the same time, the elderly childbearing has become a significant feature of the second child era. The elderly childbearing in the second child era refers to the phenomenon that women over 35 years old are pregnant and have a second child. This phenomenon not only continues to increase in China, but also shows an obvious trend worldwide. This article will elaborate on the elderly childbearing in the second child era from four aspects: the physical condition of pregnant women, the development of medical technology, socio-economic factors and family decision-making.
Physical condition of pregnant women
With the growth of age, female reproductive capacity will gradually decline. Older pregnant women face more risks in pregnancy and childbirth. The risk of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and heart disease will also increase. In addition, older pregnant women are more prone to chromosomal abnormalities, such as the incidence of Down syndrome will gradually increase. In view of these risks, older pregnant women need to pay more attention to physical health care and monitoring to ensure their own and fetal health.
Affected by these risks, more and more elderly pregnant women choose to receive prenatal screening in professional hospitals to ensure the health of the fetus. For example, a certain hospital in Beijing has provided a complete set of prenatal screening programs, including amniocentesis, non-invasive prenatal gene testing, etc. The development of these medical technologies provides older pregnant women with more choices, and can detect potential genetic diseases in advance, so as to take corresponding intervention measures.
Development of medical technology
With the continuous progress of medical technology, the application of assisted reproductive technology is more and more extensive. For elderly couples who cannot conceive naturally, IVF technology has become an important way for them to achieve their reproductive aspirations. IVF technology allows older women to conceive through in vitro fertilization, and greatly improves the success rate.
In addition to IVF technology, more and more hospitals have started to provide services such as egg freezing, allowing women more time to decide whether to become pregnant. Advances in frozen egg technology allow women to collect eggs at a younger age and store them for emergencies.
Socio economic factors
Compared with the past, today's families pay more attention to economic stability and development. Elderly childbearing often requires both husband and wife to have a certain economic foundation. With the improvement of economic conditions, more and more couples can bear the financial burden of having a second child.
In addition, women's position in the workplace has also been significantly improved. More and more women choose to consider childbearing after their careers become stable, which has led to the widespread phenomenon of elderly childbearing in the age of two children.
Family decision-making
Family decision-making is an important factor in the second child era. The couple jointly decide whether to welcome the arrival of the second child and make comprehensive preparations for it. They need to consider their living environment, educational resources, family support system and other factors.
More and more families choose to carry out comprehensive family planning and preparation before giving birth at the age of two children. They properly arrange their children's education, life and medical needs through planning to ensure the harmony and stability of the family.
Summary
The elderly childbearing in the second child era refers to the phenomenon that women over 35 years old are pregnant and have a second child. This phenomenon is increasingly common in China and around the world, which reflects the changes in the social and medical environment. Older pregnant women face more risks of pregnancy and childbirth, but with the development of medical technology, they also have more choices and opportunities. Socio economic factors and family decision-making have also become important factors affecting the elderly childbearing. With the arrival of the second child era, we need to work together at the individual and social levels to provide better security and support for elderly pregnant women.
