Do women's elderly childbearing increase the risk of premature birth?
With the pursuit of career and economy in modern society, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, and the elderly childbearing has become a common phenomenon. However, it is a matter of great concern whether women's elderly childbearing will increase the risk of premature birth. This article will elaborate on this from four aspects: pregnant women's physical condition, pre pregnancy health care, pregnancy monitoring and post natal care.
Physical condition of pregnant women
Older women have certain physiological characteristics in childbirth. The ovarian function and uterine peristalsis of women gradually decline, which will affect pregnancy and embryo implantation. In addition, the physical condition of the pregnant woman will also affect the development of the fetus. Older pregnant women often have chronic diseases, metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. These diseases themselves have a certain relationship with premature delivery.
Moreover, due to the growth of age, it is difficult for the elderly pregnant women to change their lifestyle and habits, which will increase the risk of premature birth. For example, elderly pregnant women often have irregular life schedule, overwork, mental stress and other factors, which will adversely affect the development of the fetus and increase the probability of premature delivery.
Pre pregnancy health care
Pre pregnancy care is essential to reduce the risk of premature delivery. However, due to the age limit, the elderly pregnant women often have the problem of insufficient pre pregnancy health care. In terms of pre pregnancy health care, timely physical examination, routine gynecological, endocrine and systemic examinations, and prevention and treatment of chronic diseases are all important measures to reduce the risk of premature delivery.
In addition, elderly pregnant women also need to pay attention to diet adjustment and reasonable nutrition intake. Healthy diet can help pregnant women improve their physique, strengthen their resistance, reduce the risk of infection, and reduce the incidence of premature delivery.
Pregnancy monitoring
Pregnancy monitoring is one of the important links to prevent and reduce the risk of premature delivery. Older pregnant women need to receive more frequent prenatal examinations and more detailed prenatal monitoring during pregnancy. During pregnancy monitoring, the doctor will make corresponding inspection and treatment plans according to the specific conditions of pregnant women.
Pregnancy monitoring mainly includes regular physical examination of pregnant and lying in women, prenatal care, fetal heart sound monitoring, and timely detection and treatment of maternal and fetal abnormalities. Through pregnancy monitoring, we can find out early and take corresponding treatment measures to reduce the risk of premature delivery of pregnant women.
Postpartum care
Postpartum care is very important for women's recovery after childbirth and early healthy development of the fetus. Postpartum care mainly includes rehabilitation guidance, breast care, postpartum recuperation, etc. The purpose of postpartum nursing is to help the puerpera recover their physical strength and ensure their physical and mental health.
Postpartum care can reduce the occurrence of postpartum complications and play a positive role in promoting the recovery of pregnant women and the healthy development of the fetus. At the same time, postpartum care can also provide appropriate parenting guidance and help to promote good interaction between mother and child.
Summary
The risk of premature delivery of fetus will increase when women are old enough to give birth, which is due to the combined effect of many factors. The lack of physical condition, pre pregnancy care, pregnancy monitoring and postpartum care of elderly pregnant women will increase the risk of premature delivery.
Therefore, for women who are ready to give birth at an advanced age, they should do a good job of pre pregnancy health care in advance, regularly accept the doctor's supervision during pregnancy, and strictly abide by the doctor's guidance and recommendations. At the same time, we should also pay attention to postpartum care and rehabilitation guidance to ensure the health of mother and child.
