Phenomenon and influence of elder childbearing
With the social progress and the development of medical technology, childbearing at an advanced age (referring to women over 35 years old) has gradually become a common phenomenon. More and more women over 30 years choose to postpone childbearing until middle age or even later due to the postponement of modern women's marriage age, career pursuit and changes in childbearing concepts. However, there are also some special circumstances and risks in the elderly childbearing, including the health problems of pregnant women and fetuses, the pressure of post childbirth rearing and education, etc.
First of all, elderly childbearing may have some impact on the health of pregnant women and fetuses. According to medical research, an older woman may increase the risk of pregnancy complications and birth defects. Pregnant women may be more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications such as hypertension and diabetes, while fetuses are prone to genetic diseases such as Down's syndrome and congenital heart disease. Therefore, older pregnant women need more frequent prenatal inspection and monitoring, and the professional guidance and care of doctors are particularly important.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing also poses great challenges to women's physical and mental health. The fertility of women will decline as they grow older, and the chance of natural pregnancy may decrease. Therefore, some elderly mothers may need assisted reproductive technology to achieve pregnancy, such as test tube babies. The process of assisted reproductive technology will exert certain pressure and influence on women's body and psychology.
Finally, the pressure of upbringing and education should not be ignored. As the elderly childbearing usually occurs at the stage of women's career development, once they become pregnant or give birth, they may need to adjust their work life balance and face some challenges in their career development. In addition, the education and growth of children may also have some special difficulties and challenges for older parents.
