Impact 1: Increased risk of complications during pregnancy
With the growth of women's age, giving birth to babies at an advanced age will increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. First, the incidence of gestational diabetes increased. The risk of gestational diabetes increased significantly due to the decline of insulin secretion and the increase of insulin resistance in elderly women. Secondly, the incidence of hypertension during pregnancy and pre eclampsia increased, which was due to the decline of vascular function and metabolic disorder in elderly women. In addition, elderly pregnant women are also prone to complications such as oligohydramnios, placental abruption, and fetal growth retardation.
However, different women have different physical conditions, and the occurrence of these complications is not inevitable, but a probability problem of a case. Therefore, when giving birth to a baby at an advanced age, it is recommended that women go to a formal hospital for a comprehensive physical examination in advance to understand their own health status, and carry out targeted preparation and monitoring before pregnancy to reduce the risk of complications.
In addition, elderly pregnant women also need to pay close attention to their own physical changes during pregnancy, carry out regular prenatal examinations, and carry out nutrition supplements and exercises according to the doctor's recommendations, so as to maintain good physical conditions and reduce the risk of complications.
Impact 2: Increased risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities
The risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus of elderly women who have babies will also increase due to the aging of their eggs. The quality of female eggs will decline with the increase of age, which is mainly manifested in the increase of chromosomal abnormalities. This includes common chromosomal abnormalities such as Down's syndrome, Edwards syndrome and mental retardation.
In order to avoid this risk, it is recommended that older women should carry out genetic testing and counseling before pregnancy to understand the risk of carrying chromosome abnormalities. During pregnancy, fetal chromosome abnormalities can be screened by means of non-invasive prenatal gene detection. If the screening result is abnormal, amniocentesis or chorionic villus biopsy can be further performed to confirm the diagnosis. According to the results of the examination, women can make decisions under the guidance of doctors and choose their own way of pregnancy.
Impact 3: increased difficulty in delivery
The elderly women who give birth to babies also face relatively high difficulties and risks in the process of delivery. The first is the increased risk of perinatal complications, including uterine rupture, massive bleeding, etc. Due to the decreased uterine elasticity and blood coagulation function of elderly women, some complications may occur during childbirth.
Secondly, the difficulty of vaginal delivery has increased, and the elasticity of the cervix and ligament tension of the elderly women have decreased, leading to an increase in the difficulty of vaginal delivery. In clinical practice, in order to deliver successfully, it may be necessary to rely on cesarean section and other interventions.
When giving birth to a baby at an old age, it is recommended that women choose an authoritative hospital and professional doctors for delivery, closely monitor the physical changes of pregnant women, and take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
Impact 4: Extension of recovery period
Compared with young women, the recovery period of older women who have babies will be prolonged. Postpartum physical recovery takes time, while the physical recovery of older women is relatively slow. Due to the growth of age, women's metabolic capacity decreases, skin elasticity decreases, muscle strength decreases, and the recovery period is relatively long.
During the recovery period, women need to follow the doctor's guidance, reasonably arrange rest and diet, and avoid overwork. In addition, regular postpartum reexamination should be carried out to pay attention to physical changes and deal with possible problems in a timely manner.
Summary
Having babies at an advanced age has a significant impact on women's bodies. The increased risk of complications during pregnancy, the increased risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities, the increased difficulty of delivery and the prolonged recovery period are the physical effects of older babies. Therefore, it is recommended that women should know their own physical conditions in advance, carry out comprehensive physical examination and genetic testing, and make preparations before pregnancy before giving birth to a baby at an advanced age; Carry out prenatal examination regularly during pregnancy and pay close attention to physical changes; Professional hospitals and doctors shall be selected during delivery to ensure the safety of mother and baby; Follow the doctor's instructions after delivery, and reasonably arrange the life and diet during the recovery period. These measures can reduce the impact on women's body caused by the birth of babies at an advanced age and provide security for the health of mothers and children.
