Risk and challenge of the elderly childbearing of the earthquake victims
Earthquake is a sudden natural disaster, which often brings great threat to people's life and property safety. In the earthquake, many families lost relatives, especially the only child, which is a huge trauma for the lost alone. However, in the face of the grief of losing their loved ones, some of them chose to give birth at an advanced age to fill the void of their hearts. However, this choice also brings a series of risks and challenges.
physical risk
The elderly childbearing has brought many risks to the health of those who lost their independence. The growth of age means the decline of physical function. The ovarian function of women gradually declines, and the quality of eggs will also decline. This will lead to higher maternal mortality, increased risk of prenatal and postnatal complications, such as hypertension, diabetes, premature delivery, etc. In addition, older childbearing also increases the risk of fetal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome and congenital heart disease.
Psychological challenges
After experiencing the great pain caused by the earthquake, those who lost their independence are facing great psychological pressure. The elderly childbearing has also brought challenges to the psychological state of those who lost their independence. On the one hand, those who have lost their independence may feel anxiety and pressure in choosing to give birth at an advanced age, and worry about whether their physical health and ability can be competent for the responsibility of childcare. On the other hand, giving birth at an advanced age will also evoke the missing relatives of those who lost their independence. Reviewing the past pain may have a negative impact on mental health.
financial burden
The economic burden brought by the elderly birth is also one of the challenges faced by those who lost their independence. After the loss of the only child, the person who lost his or her own child may face great sadness, which has greatly changed the meaning and goal of life. Elderly childbearing means that those who lose their independence have to pay more economic investment, including prenatal examination, treatment costs, childcare costs, etc. For those who lose their independence in poor economic conditions, this will become an economic burden.
social influence
The elderly childbearing of those who lost their independence will also bring some social impacts. On the one hand, the society tends to have a questioning and biased attitude towards the elderly childbearing of those who lost their independence, believing that this is not conducive to social stability and the harmonious development of families. On the other hand, the elderly childbearing of those who lost their independence may also lead to questions and disputes among relatives, friends and public opinion, and increase the pressure and psychological distress on those who lost their independence.
To sum up, those who lost their loved ones in the earthquake choose to give birth at an advanced age, facing risks and challenges in physical risks, psychological challenges, economic burdens and social impacts. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the mental health of those who lost their independence, provide them with corresponding psychological counseling and support, educate them about the risks and precautions of childbearing at an advanced age, and also need to strengthen the understanding and support of society for those who lost their independence, so as to create a healthy, stable and harmonious reproductive environment for them.
