Countermeasures for the Elderly Birth
With the development of society and the improvement of people's quality, more and more women choose to delay childbearing, which leads to the widespread phenomenon of elderly childbearing. However, the elderly childbearing will bring a series of psychological and physiological problems, so we need to take some countermeasures. This article will elaborate from four aspects: health management, economic support, psychological counseling and medical technology.
Health management
The physical function of the elderly child-bearing women is relatively weak, and they are prone to various complications. Therefore, health management has become the primary countermeasure to cope with elderly childbearing. First of all, the elderly pregnant women should have regular physical examination, including the detection of blood pressure, blood routine, blood sugar and other indicators, so as to find and deal with potential health problems in a timely manner. Secondly, the diet should be properly matched, and adequate protein, vitamins and minerals should be taken to ensure the nutritional requirements of the mother and fetus. In addition, moderate physical exercise helps to improve the body's resistance and immunity. Finally, according to your personal situation, you can consider taking some appropriate supplements, such as folic acid, calcium tablets, etc., to help prevent disease and meet your physical needs.
For older women who have children, economic issues are also key factors to be considered.
Economic support
Older childbearing often needs to face more economic pressure, such as the cost of prenatal examination, medical expenses, and the cost of childbirth. Therefore, providing economic support is one of the countermeasures. The society and the government can set up relevant funds to provide some economic support for elderly pregnant women and reduce their economic burden in the process of pregnancy. At the same time, some enterprises and public institutions can formulate relevant policies to increase the subsidies for elderly childbearing employees, so that they can more easily realize their aspirations of elderly childbearing in the workplace.
psychological counseling
Older childbearing is often accompanied by more psychological pressure. Women who fail to give birth within a certain age are prone to anxiety, inferiority and even depression. Therefore, psychological counseling is an indispensable countermeasure. Hospitals, communities, families and individuals can participate in psychological counseling to help elderly women relieve pressure and adjust their mentality. The hospital can set up a psychological consultation room to provide professional psychological consultation services for pregnant women. The community can carry out some mental health education activities to improve the public's awareness of mental health. Families and individuals should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, establish a harmonious family atmosphere, and provide emotional support for elderly women.
medical technology
With the continuous progress of medical technology, the risk of elderly childbearing has been reduced. Assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization and IVF, provide new options for the elderly. Some large hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, have rich experience and advanced equipment in assisted reproductive technology, providing more help for elderly pregnant women. In addition, doctors can also provide more detailed advice and suggestions, develop personalized treatment programs, and improve the fertility success rate of elderly pregnant women.
To sum up, elderly childbearing needs comprehensive countermeasures from health management, economic support, psychological counseling, medical technology and other aspects. Only a scientific and reasonable response to the elderly birth can better protect the health of pregnant women and fetuses, and provide more population resources and talent reserves for social development.
