Advantages and Disadvantages of Elderly Birth
With the social progress and the change of people's concept of fertility, the elderly childbearing has gradually become a trend. Elderly childbearing refers to the phenomenon of pregnancy and childbirth of women in the age range of 35 years and above. The elderly childbearing has brought a series of advantages and disadvantages. This article will elaborate from four aspects: fertility risk, economic pressure, family relationship and social responsibility.
1、 Fertility risk
The physical function of the elderly women who gave birth began to decline, and the fertility risk increased accordingly. According to medical research, older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from a variety of maternal diseases, such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension, etc. In addition, with the increase of age, the birth rate of children with chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, also increases gradually. These reproductive risks not only pose a threat to the health of pregnant women, but also affect the growth and development of children.
In order to reduce the risk of childbearing, it is necessary to choose a formal medical institution for prenatal examination and delivery. As a well-known obstetrics and gynecology hospital in China, XX Hospital has advanced medical equipment and professional medical team to provide all-round maternity services for elderly pregnant women and reduce fertility risks.
2、 Economic pressure
With the growth of age, pregnant women and families often need to face greater economic pressure. Older childbearing often requires more expensive maternity care and more complex medical services, which leads to an increase in the economic burden of pregnant women and families. In addition, women who give birth at an advanced age may reduce their income due to the need to take a long maternity leave, which further aggravates the economic pressure.
However, there are also a series of economic support policies and security systems in the society to provide some economic support for the elderly women who have given birth. For example, the elderly childbearing subsidy plan launched by a local government can help pregnant women and families reduce part of the economic pressure. At the same time, XX company also provides flexible working arrangements, so that women can better balance the economic needs of work and family.
3、 Family relations
Older childbearing may have a certain impact on family relations. In the family, both husband and wife need to face the hardships of childbearing and raising together. Older women who give birth often need more care and attention, and fathers also need to take more care of children and families. This may lead to tension and problems between husband and wife.
However, giving birth at an advanced age can also become a link between husband and wife, making them more united and hardworking, and jointly creating a good growth environment for children. Both husband and wife can support each other, share family responsibilities and face difficulties and challenges together. Such experience can often deepen the relationship between husband and wife and enhance their feelings.
4、 Social responsibility
The elderly childbearing has brought certain social responsibilities. With the aggravation of population aging, the society pays more and more attention to the elderly childbearing. Women who have given birth at an advanced age need to shoulder the responsibility of educating the next generation and strive to cultivate healthy and responsible talents for the society.
At the same time, the society also needs to provide corresponding support and services to help the elderly women who give birth to better fulfill their social responsibilities. For example, a city has set up special places to provide related services and care for elderly women who have given birth, so as to reduce their burden of raising children.
Summary
The advantages and disadvantages of elder childbearing lie in four aspects: fertility risk, economic pressure, family relationship and social responsibility. Although there are some reproductive risks in elderly childbearing, the risks can be reduced by choosing a formal medical institution for prenatal examination and delivery. Economic pressure is a challenge for the elderly childbearing, but the economic support policies of the government and enterprises can help the elderly childbearing women reduce the pressure. Older childbearing may have an impact on family relations, but couples can strengthen their relationship through mutual support and cooperation. The elderly childbearing needs to take the responsibility of educating the next generation, and the society also needs to provide support and services to help the elderly childbearing women fulfill their social responsibilities.
