The Influence of Two child Old Birth on Children's Health
With the development of society and the relaxation of policies, more and more women choose to marry later and have children later, and the opening of the second child policy has gradually increased the elderly fertility rate. However, some people worry that giving birth at an advanced age may have an impact on children's health. This article will elaborate on the preparation before pregnancy, health during pregnancy, genetic factors and the relationship between mother and baby.
1、 Preparation before pregnancy
For elderly couples who have given birth, preparation before pregnancy is particularly important. First of all, women should have a comprehensive physical examination and consultation to ensure that they are healthy and have no obvious reproductive disorders or chronic diseases. Secondly, men also need to check the quality and quantity of sperm, and reduce bad habits, such as smoking and drinking. These measures can reduce the adverse effects of prepregnancy adverse factors on embryonic development.
To understand the importance of preparation before pregnancy, couples can choose to go to formal hospitals for consultation and examination. For example, the Reproductive Medicine Center of Beijing Maternal and Child Health Hospital provides comprehensive pre pregnancy inspection and guidance to help couples make full preparations.
2、 Health during pregnancy
The physical condition of the elderly pregnant women is relatively poor, and the health during pregnancy needs urgent attention. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the intake of nutrients, and rationally mix with protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Secondly, we should avoid the occurrence of complications during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension, etc. In addition, we should also pay attention to reasonable weight control to avoid excessive obesity or emaciation.
In order to ensure healthy pregnancy, elderly pregnant women can choose to go to hospitals with rich experience in pregnancy and childbirth for prenatal examination and guidance. For example, Shanghai Maternal and Child Health Hospital has a special outpatient clinic for elderly pregnant women to provide personalized prenatal examination and management for elderly pregnant women.
3、 Genetic factor
The children of older pregnant women may face increased genetic risk. The probability of gene mutation and chromosome abnormality will increase with age. These genetic variations may lead to embryo malformation, mental retardation and other problems.
In order to reduce genetic risk, older pregnant women can choose to go to genetic counseling centers for genetic testing and counseling. For example, the Genetic Counseling Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences has a first-class team of genetic experts, which can provide comprehensive genetic counseling and risk assessment for elderly pregnant women.
4、 Maternal infant relationship
Older mothers may face difficulties in establishing close relationships with their children. Due to their physical condition and energy constraints, they may not be able to devote more time and energy to taking care of their children as young mothers do. This may lead to estrangement of parent-child relationship and have a negative impact on the healthy development of children.
In order to improve the relationship between mother and child, older mothers can participate in some infant care and parent-child education courses to learn how to establish a better emotional relationship with their children. In addition, the support of family members is also crucial. They can provide additional help and care to help elderly mothers take better care of their children.
Summary
Although the elderly birth of two children may have a certain impact on children's health, the adverse effects can be minimized through scientific preparation before pregnancy and health management during pregnancy. At the same time, genetic counseling and the improvement of mother infant relationship are also key. Therefore, as long as hospitals are reasonably selected and comprehensive inspection and guidance are carried out, couples who have given birth at an advanced age can have healthy children.
