Is the side effect of elder childbearing big? What is the age at which women can afford to have children at an advanced age?
With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing and pursue career and personal development. However, the elderly childbearing is also accompanied by a series of side effects and risks. So how big are the side effects of old childbearing? What is the age at which women can afford to have children at an advanced age? This will be elaborated from four aspects below.
1. Physiological side effects
The fertility of women is not unlimited. With the growth of age, the number and quality of women's eggs will gradually decline, and the probability of chromosomal abnormalities of eggs will also increase. This means that the success rate of pregnancy of elderly women will decline, and the risk of complications such as abortion and ectopic pregnancy will increase. At the same time, older women are more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension and diabetes, which will have adverse effects on maternal health and fetal development.
According to the data of a domestic hospital, the fertility of women reached its peak around the age of 30, and gradually declined, and dropped sharply after the age of 35. Therefore, experts generally believe that women's elderly childbearing age is before 35 years old, and women over 35 years old will have an increased risk of childbearing, and the side effects will be more obvious.
2. Psychological side effects
The elderly childbearing is often accompanied by women's psychological pressure and anxiety. Due to the growth of age, women have doubts and concerns about their fertility, fear that they will miss the best childbearing age, and fear that they will not be able to successfully conceive and give birth. In addition, elderly childbearing is also faced with the problem of children's future growth and care. Women tend to worry about their health and economic ability, further increasing the psychological burden.
Therefore, before deciding to give birth at an advanced age, women need to seriously consider their psychological endurance, fully communicate and consult with their families and doctors, and maintain a positive attitude.
3. Side effects of family and society
Older childbearing not only has an impact on women themselves, but also has certain side effects on families and society. On the one hand, giving birth at an advanced age means that women need more time and energy to invest in child rearing, which may delay women's career development. On the other hand, giving birth at an advanced age will also bring economic pressure to families, including the increase of child support costs and education costs.
From the social perspective, the elderly childbearing will have a certain impact and pressure on the labor market, social security, education resources, etc. With the increase of childbearing among elderly women, relevant policies and social support systems need to be constantly improved and adjusted to adapt to this demographic change.
4. Side effects of medical treatment and health care
Older women need closer medical and health care attention during pregnancy and childbirth. They may need more prenatal examinations and screening, as well as more complex delivery processes. This not only increases the risk of women and fetuses, but also increases the consumption of medical resources.
At the same time, many hospitals also reduce the risk by limiting the childbearing age of elderly women because of the high risk of childbearing of elderly women. Therefore, some women may need to wait longer to obtain appropriate medical resources and opportunities, which will bring them additional pain and trouble.
Summary
To sum up, the side effects of elderly childbearing exist, including many aspects such as physiology, psychology, family and society, medical treatment and health care. The elderly childbearing age of women is generally considered to be before the age of 35, and the risk of childbearing beyond this age will increase. Therefore, women should fully understand and consider these side effects before deciding to give birth at an advanced age, fully communicate and consult with their families and doctors, and make decisions that are most suitable for them and their families.
