Adverse consequences of childbirth at an advanced age
With the development of society and the improvement of living standards, more and more women choose to delay childbearing, but there are also some adverse consequences of elderly childbearing. This article will elaborate on the adverse consequences of elderly childbearing from four aspects: physical health, fetal health, mother infant relationship and social pressure.
good health
First of all, the elderly childbearing has brought certain risks to women's health. With the growth of women's age, the ovarian function will gradually decline, and the quality of eggs will also decline, thus increasing the probability of fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities. In addition, due to the decline of their own physical conditions, elderly pregnant women are prone to complications during pregnancy, such as pregnancy induced hypertension, pregnancy induced diabetes, etc. These diseases not only endanger the health of pregnant women, but also have a negative impact on the health of the fetus.
Secondly, the elderly childbirth also increases the risk of childbirth. With the increase of age, the female birth canal is no longer young, and its elasticity and contractility are reduced, which is easy to lead to dystocia. Maternal women may need longer time in the process of delivery, and the possibility of cesarean section will also increase, increasing the risk of maternal and fetal.
In addition, the elderly childbearing may also lead to more serious postpartum reactions. Because the physical resistance of elderly pregnant women is relatively poor, the recovery time after childbirth will be relatively long, and more physical conditioning and care may be required. At the same time, elderly women who give birth are more likely to have psychological problems such as postpartum depression, which will have a negative impact on the physical and mental health of mothers.
Fetal health
Elderly childbearing also has a certain adverse impact on the health of the fetus. First, the increasing age of pregnant women will increase the risk of abnormal intrauterine environment. With the growth of age, pregnant women may have chronic diseases, and the possibility of carrying some genetic genes increases, which will adversely affect the normal development of the fetus.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing will increase the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities. In the elderly pregnant women, the probability of fetuses with chromosome abnormalities is significantly increased, such as Down syndrome. These chromosomal abnormalities may lead to fetal intellectual development problems, organ development abnormalities, and have an impact on the long-term quality of life of children.
In addition, more prenatal inspection and intervention measures may be required during the process of elderly childbearing, such as amniocentesis, non-invasive prenatal gene testing, etc. The risks of these inspection and intervention measures also need to be considered, which may also bring some harm and impact to the fetus.
Maternal infant relationship
The influence of elderly childbearing on mother infant relationship can not be ignored. First of all, due to the late birth age of the elderly pregnant women and the older mother after the birth of the child, the gap between physical strength and energy of the mother in the process of child growth may lead to the inability of the mother to accompany the child as energetically as the young mother.
Secondly, after the birth of the child, the elderly parents may have poor physical conditions due to their age, and cannot actively participate in the child rearing as young parents do. This may lead to less parent-child interaction and communication between parents and children, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of children.
In addition, parents who give birth at an advanced age also face more life pressure and economic pressure. They may need more energy and financial resources to cope with their children's needs, which will have a certain negative impact on family happiness and stability.
social pressure
Elderly childbearing also brings certain pressure to individuals and society. First of all, affected by the social concept, the elderly mothers may face blame, speculation and doubt from relatives, friends and society, which increases their psychological pressure.
Secondly, older childbearing needs more social support and medical resources. With the increase of elderly childbearing population, medical resources may become more strained, and society needs to provide more medical services and support measures. The lack of these support measures may bring greater pressure to individuals and society.
In addition, the elderly childbearing may bring some changes and impacts to the multi generation family life. Parents of elderly mothers may need more care and companionship, which will have a certain impact on the family's economy and living conditions.
Summary
To sum up, the adverse consequences of elderly childbearing are mainly reflected in four aspects: physical health, fetal health, mother infant relationship and social pressure. Older childbearing has a certain impact on women's health and delivery risk; It may bring risks and adverse effects on the health and development of the fetus; The impact on the mother infant relationship is mainly manifested in the gap between physical strength and energy, as well as the increase of family and economic pressure; The pressure on society is mainly reflected in the demand for social support and medical resources. Therefore, both individuals and society need to take full account of the adverse consequences of elderly childbearing, and take appropriate measures and support to reduce risks and pressures.
