What is old childbearing
The development of IVF technology has made it possible for older women to realize their reproductive dreams. However, the issue of childbearing age has been controversial. Therefore, determining the age appropriate range of elderly childbearing is not only related to individual physical and mental health, but also related to the stability of the whole society and family happiness.
First of all, the physical condition is an important factor for the elderly to bear. Generally speaking, female fertility peaked between the ages of 25 and 35. With the growth of age, the number and quality of female eggs will gradually decline, leading to increased difficulty in pregnancy and increased risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, most experts believe that women over 40 have entered the category of elderly childbearing.
Secondly, the regularity of menstrual cycle has an important impact on the age appropriate range of elderly childbearing. If the menstrual cycle interval is too long or too short, it may mean that the ovulation function is abnormal, thus affecting pregnancy. Generally speaking, the cycle interval is about 28 days. If it is more than 35 days or less than 21 days, it is recommended to seek medical advice as soon as possible to see whether further examination is needed.
Finally, will and psychological status are also the key to determine the age appropriate for elderly childbearing. The elderly childbearing is an important decision for both husband and wife, which needs rational thinking and psychological preparation. The stability of the couple's feelings, the support of economic conditions and the sense of responsibility for childcare should be fully considered. If couples have common expectations for elderly childbearing and have certain economic and psychological affordability, they can choose elderly childbearing under the guidance of doctors.
Risk and consideration of elderly childbearing
Older childbearing increases the health risks of mothers and infants to a certain extent, and the existence of these risks should be fully considered.
First, the risk of pregnancy disease increases. With the growth of age, the probability of women suffering from chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes will also increase, which will have a negative impact on the development of the fetus.
Secondly, the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities increases. The growth of female age will lead to the decline of egg quality, thus increasing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome.
Finally, complications of childbirth may increase. Older pregnant women may face increased risks of postpartum hemorrhage, eclampsia, placental abruption and other complications, which pose a potential threat to the safety of maternal and fetal life.
Appropriate hospital and expert selection
Elderly childbearing needs to choose appropriate hospitals and experts for consultation and treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
First, you should choose a regular reproductive medical center. Reproductive medicine centers are usually equipped with the most advanced equipment and a team of experienced experts, who can provide a full range of reproductive assistance technologies and high-quality services.
Secondly, we should choose experienced experts. Experienced experts will have a better understanding of the risks and handling methods of elder childbearing, and can provide more thoughtful guidance and suggestions.
Finally, we also need to pay attention to the privacy protection and information security of the hospital. Elderly childbirth is a very private matter, and hospitals should properly protect the privacy of patients and not disclose any personal information.
summary
The age appropriate range of elderly childbearing should comprehensively consider physical conditions, menstrual cycle laws and psychological conditions of will. There are certain risks in elderly childbearing, such as the increase of pregnancy diseases, fetal chromosome abnormalities and delivery complications. Choosing appropriate hospitals and experts for consultation and treatment is the key to ensure safety and effectiveness.
No matter whether they choose to give birth at an advanced age or not, women should make reasonable plans according to their own conditions and complete the birth at an appropriate age to ensure the happiness of themselves and their families.
