An Analysis of the Causes of the Tragedy of the Elderly Birth
Elderly childbearing refers to women's pregnancy and childbearing at the age of 35 and above. With the social progress and economic development, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, but the elderly childbearing has also brought a series of problems and tragedies. This article will analyze the reasons for the elderly childbearing from four aspects: physical health, physiological factors, social pressure and subsequent consequences.
good health
With the growth of age, women's physical functions gradually decline, and the quality of eggs also decline. The decrease of egg quality will lead to the increase of difficulty in pregnancy and embryo problems. Some studies have shown that the success rate of pregnancy for women has declined significantly after the age of 35, and it is even more difficult to conceive after the age of 40. In addition, older pregnant women are also prone to the risk of complications during pregnancy, such as eclampsia, premature delivery, etc.
In addition, the elderly childbirth also increases the risk of maternal bleeding, anemia, hypertension and other complications. These health problems may pose a threat to mothers and pose a greater risk to the health of mothers and fetuses. Therefore, physical health is an important reason for the tragedy of elderly childbearing.
Physiological factors
In addition to health problems, the elderly childbearing is also facing the challenge of physiological factors. After the age of 35, the fertility function of women gradually weakens, the ovarian function declines, and the quality and quantity of eggs will decrease. At the same time, the contractility of female uterus and pelvic muscles will also be weakened, which is easy to lead to dystocia and postpartum complications.
In addition, the elderly fertility also faces a higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities. The older you are, the higher the probability of chromosomal abnormalities in eggs. The formation of chromosomal abnormal embryos will lead to problems such as abortion and embryo stop development, which further increases the risk and tragedy of elderly childbearing.
social pressure
Modern society, especially traditional society, has certain expectations for women's childbearing age. Many people believe that women should get married and have children within a certain time frame, and the elderly childbearing is regarded as a manifestation of "late marriage and late childbearing", "fertility crisis" and other issues. This kind of social pressure makes some women have to postpone childbearing until they reach their career stability or meet other conditions.
However, delaying childbearing also means that the risk of childbearing at an advanced age is increased, which is likely to lead to tragedy. Women have to make a choice between career and childbirth, often feeling physically and mentally exhausted and lost. This kind of social pressure not only brings troubles to women, but also brings unnecessary pressure and harm to the whole family.
Subsequent consequences
The subsequent consequences of childbirth at an advanced age are also part of the tragedy. Due to the older childbearing age, many elderly mothers may face more difficulties in raising and educating their children. Their energy and physical strength gradually declined, and they could not take care of their children's growth and development like young parents.
In addition, elderly childbearing will also lead to an increase in family financial burden. Due to the restrictions of social and economic conditions, the families with older children may not be able to provide adequate educational resources and living conditions. This has a certain negative impact on the growth and development of children.
In general, the causes of the tragedy of elderly childbearing mainly include physical health, physiological factors, social pressure and subsequent consequences. Although giving birth at an advanced age is an individual's choice, these factors need to be fully considered when making decisions to avoid tragedy.
