Common problems of elder childbearing
With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's requirements for quality of life, more and more women choose to marry late and have late childbearing, which leads to the increasing phenomenon of elderly childbearing. Older childbearing will bring certain risks and challenges to the health of women's bodies and fetuses. Here are some common questions about elder childbearing and how to answer them.
1. Increased fertility risk
There are many age-related influencing factors for elderly childbearing, such as decreased egg quality, irregular ovulation, etc., so pregnant women and fetuses face relatively high risks. Relevant research shows that older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension, oligohydramnios and other diseases than younger pregnant women. In addition, the risk of Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus increases with age.
For these birth risks, first of all, comprehensive pre marital examination and pre pregnancy physical examination should be carried out to find out the existing potential diseases in time and reasonably plan the birth plan. During pregnancy, the prenatal examination shall be carried out regularly every month to monitor the fetal development and the physical condition of pregnant women in a timely manner, so as to detect and deal with relevant problems as soon as possible. In addition, reasonable diet, proper exercise, keeping a good attitude and following the doctor's advice for necessary drug treatment can effectively reduce the risk of fertility.
2. Decreased fertility
With the growth of age, women's fertility gradually declined. The ovarian reserve of women is gradually decreasing, and the quality and quantity of eggs are decreasing. This is one of the important reasons why it is difficult for older women to conceive.
For the problem of fertility decline, on the one hand, we can try to increase the probability of pregnancy through assisted reproductive technology. Common assisted reproductive technologies include IVF and egg freezing. These technologies can help elderly women fundamentally solve the problem of egg quality and quantity. On the other hand, it is necessary to plan the birth plan in advance, get pregnant as soon as possible, and reduce the adverse impact of age on fertility.
In addition, keeping good living habits can also improve fertility. Smoking cessation, alcohol restriction, balanced diet, moderate exercise and other healthy lifestyles have positive effects on improving fertility.
3. Psychological pressure of women of childbearing age
In the process of pregnancy, many elderly women are faced with problems caused by social pressure and personal psychological pressure. There is a widespread prejudice against elderly mothers in society, and some people will question their mother's ability and fetal health. In addition, the elderly women themselves will feel anxiety and pressure because of the uncertainty of their physical conditions and fertility.
Doctors and family members should give active support and encouragement to women of childbearing age with psychological pressure. Establishing a good support system can help women reduce stress and improve the success rate of childbirth. At the same time, the professional guidance of counselors and psychologists can also help women better cope with psychological pressure.
4. Select appropriate hospitals and doctors
In the process of elderly childbearing, it is also crucial to choose the appropriate hospital and doctor. High quality medical institutions and experienced doctors will provide more professional services to reduce fertility risks and improve the success rate of pregnancy.
It is suggested to choose a specialized hospital with rich experience in obstetrics and gynecology, which can provide complete prenatal examination, pregnancy care, postpartum rehabilitation and other services. In addition, doctors should be selected who have certain research and clinical experience in elder childbearing and can give comprehensive and accurate guidance.
Summary
Elderly childbearing is a common phenomenon in modern society. In the face of this phenomenon, we need to understand and answer related frequently asked questions. First of all, it is necessary to recognize that the reproductive risks brought by the elderly birth increase, but these risks can be effectively reduced through reasonable medical care and personal adjustment. Secondly, we should plan our family planning in advance and get pregnant as soon as possible to reduce the impact of fertility decline. At the same time, we should pay attention to the psychological pressure of older women and provide positive support and help. Finally, the selection of appropriate hospitals and doctors is an important guarantee for the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
