Older childbearing:
With the development of society, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which leads to the increasingly common phenomenon of elder childbearing. However, there are not only physiological difficulties in elderly childbearing, but also a series of complications. This article will elaborate on the complications of elderly childbirth from four aspects: pregnancy risk, fetal risk, delivery risk and postpartum risk.
Pregnancy risks:
Older pregnant women face a series of risks during pregnancy. First of all, due to the growth of age, the rate of cell renewal in pregnant women's bodies becomes slower, which increases the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Secondly, older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension, which pose a threat to the health of pregnant women and fetuses. In addition, pregnant women also face a higher risk of miscarriage and premature delivery during pregnancy. The existence of these risks requires the elderly pregnant women to seek medical treatment in time and receive professional health care and supervision during pregnancy.
Fetal risk:
The fetus of elderly pregnant women also faces a series of risks. First, there is an increased risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome and other common chromosomal abnormalities. Secondly, as the mother's age increases, the quality of eggs decreases, which is easy to lead to fetal dysplasia or congenital heart disease and other abnormalities. In addition, the fetus of elderly pregnant women also faces the risk of premature delivery, low birth weight, neonatal asphyxia and other complications, which pose a potential threat to the health of infants.
Delivery risk:
Older pregnant women also have certain risks during delivery. Age increase will lead to the decline of uterine contractility and uterine contractility, making the delivery process difficult, easy to lead to prolonged labor and dystocia. In addition, because older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from some basic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, these diseases will increase the risk of bleeding and infection during delivery. Therefore, the elderly pregnant women need to conduct a comprehensive physical examination and evaluation before delivery, and choose their own delivery mode.
Postpartum risk:
Older pregnant women face a series of risks after childbirth. First of all, due to aging and poor recovery ability, postpartum infection and puerperal complications are easy to occur. Secondly, after women give birth at an advanced age, the problem of child rearing is a big challenge, which needs to face a longer upbringing period and physical fatigue. In addition, elderly pregnant women are also prone to face breast problems during lactation, such as mastitis and nipple laceration. Therefore, regular postpartum inspection and timely intervention are very important to protect maternal health.
Summary:
Although the elderly childbearing is a trend in modern society, it is also accompanied by a series of complications. Pregnancy risk, fetal risk, delivery risk and postpartum risk all need the close attention of elderly pregnant women and medical staff, and timely take corresponding measures. Therefore, older pregnant women should fully understand the relevant risks before planning pregnancy, and carry out professional pregnancy management and pregnancy monitoring under the guidance of doctors.
