The problem of both husband and wife giving birth at an old age
Elderly childbearing refers to the decision of older couples (usually over 35 years old) to hesitate to have one or more children. This situation is more and more common in modern society, but it is also accompanied by some problems and challenges.
Physiological problems
Age is one of the most obvious problems. The reproductive capacity of women will decline with age, especially after the age of 40. The number of ovarian reserves of women gradually decreases, and the quality of eggs decreases, which makes it difficult to conceive naturally or increases the risk of early abortion. At the same time, the number and quality of men's sperm will also decline with age, which will affect the success rate of pregnancy.
In addition, older childbearing also increases the risk of children with chromosomal abnormalities. Children born to women over 35 years old are more likely to suffer from chromosomal abnormalities such as Down's syndrome than young women. This is because the possibility of chromosomal abnormalities increases when eggs divide in the pre soda of women's lives.
Due to physical changes, elderly mothers may face some health problems during pregnancy, such as hypertension, gestational diabetes and premature delivery. These problems have potential risks to the health of both mothers and fetuses.
Psychological problems
The decision to give birth at an advanced age may bring great psychological pressure to couples. On the one hand, because of their age, couples may worry about whether their physical conditions are suitable for pregnancy and childbirth. On the other hand, they also worry about their children's health and whether they have enough energy and resources to take care of them.
In addition, elderly childbearing will also face pressure from society and families. Couples or family members may oppose their decisions and worry about the problems and difficulties the child may face in the future. These external pressures may increase the anxiety and tension of couples and affect their quality of life.
Couples also need to face the problems brought by age differences. If the age difference between husband and wife is large, they may have different views and expectations in educating children and dealing with family affairs, which may lead to conflict and friction.
social problem
The attitude of the society towards the elderly childbearing is also a problem. Although the acceptance of older childbearing has increased in modern society, there are still some unfriendly views and prejudices. Some people may think that giving birth at an advanced age is irresponsible and that couples should have children at a younger age. This may bring social pressure and negative evaluation to couples.
In addition, elderly mothers may face restrictions on employment and career development. Pregnancy and child care require time and energy, which may affect women's career development. In some industries, age restrictions may also lead to employment difficulties.
Medical problems
Both husband and wife will face some medical problems if they give birth at an old age. They may need to undergo more medical examination and treatment to ensure the health of mother and child. This may include physical examination, gene testing, embryo transfer, etc. In addition, they may need to select appropriate hospitals and doctors to ensure access to professional medical services.
Older women may need more medical interventions during childbirth, and increase the risk of cesarean section. The medical team needs to closely monitor the maternal and fetal conditions during the delivery process to deal with possible complications.
Summary
Both husband and wife face a variety of problems in their elder childbearing, including physical, psychological, social and medical problems. Age is the most obvious problem, which will affect the reproductive capacity of couples and the health of children. At the same time, couples also need to cope with internal and external psychological pressure, as well as social and professional problems they face. The medical team also plays an important role in the whole process, providing professional medical services for couples.
