The consequences of childbirth at an advanced age
With the improvement of living standards in modern society, women pursue more freedom and opportunities in career and education, leading to more and more women choose to postpone the childbearing age. However, the elderly childbearing has also brought a series of consequences. This article will elaborate on the consequences of elder childbearing from four aspects: physical health, fetal health, parenting pressure and social problems.
good health
With the growth of age, women's fertility will gradually decline. After the age of 35, the quality and quantity of female eggs began to decrease, leading to a decrease in the pregnancy rate and an increase in the abortion rate. At the same time, elderly childbearing also increases the risk of pregnancy related diseases, such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension, etc. The birth process will also cause some damage to women's bodies, increasing the risk of delivery complications, such as postpartum hemorrhage, uterine diseases, etc.
Long term infertile women, such as early menopause and premature ovarian failure, can choose assisted reproductive technology to give birth to the elderly through egg donation, but this will increase the risk of surgery, increase the probability of multiple pregnancies, and increase the risk of premature birth and low birth weight babies.
Therefore, the elderly childbearing will have a certain negative impact on women's health, and it is necessary to carefully consider their own physical conditions.
Fetal health
Older childbearing will increase the risk of fetal dysplasia and genetic diseases. The increase of female age will increase the probability of chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down's syndrome, Edwards syndrome, etc. These diseases will have a serious impact on fetal development and quality of life. In addition, elderly childbearing is often accompanied by pregnancy associated diseases, such as pregnancy associated diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension, etc. These diseases will have a certain adverse impact on the growth and development of the fetus.
To improve the probability of fetal health, women need to get married and have children as soon as possible in terms of family planning, and conduct accurate fetal development assessment, early intervention and treatment through prenatal in-depth screening and gene testing.
parenting stress
Couples who give birth at an advanced age are relatively older and have great pressure on childbearing. Couples who give birth at an advanced age usually need to take care of young children and elderly parents at the same time. This couple's energy and physical strength is a huge challenge. In addition, elderly parents may enter old age when their children are still young, which will affect their children's growth and development and increase their children's psychological pressure.
Couples who give birth at an advanced age should make full preparations before giving birth, including physical health, economic and family support, to cope with the pressure of childcare in the future.
social problem
Elderly childbearing not only affects individuals, but also brings a series of problems to society. With the increasing number of elderly children, the social pension problem will become more prominent. Older parents are about to enter old age when their children grow up, and they need to rely on their children's support and care, which also makes their children bear more responsibilities. In addition, elderly childbearing may also lead to uneven resource distribution, intensified competition and greater pressure on the social welfare system.
Therefore, the elderly childbearing not only needs careful consideration of individuals, but also needs the attention and solutions of the government and all sectors of society.
conclusion
The elderly childbearing has brought a series of consequences such as physical health, fetal health, parenting pressure and social problems. Women should fully understand and weigh these consequences and make a wise choice when considering elder childbearing. At the same time, the government and all sectors of society should also strengthen the guidance and management of elderly childbearing to provide better support and security for elderly childbearing.
