Methods of giving birth at an advanced age
With the development of society and the improvement of living standards, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which leads to the more and more common phenomenon of elder childbearing. Older childbearing puts forward higher requirements for the health of pregnant women and fetuses, so a series of methods need to be taken to reduce risks and improve the success rate of childbearing. The following is a detailed description of the methods of elder childbearing from four aspects: prenatal examination, assisted reproductive technology, nutrition supplement and psychological counseling.
1、 Antenatal examination
Prenatal examination is very important for elderly pregnant women. It can help doctors understand the physical condition of pregnant women, find and deal with possible problems in time. First of all, pregnant women need routine examinations, including blood routine, liver function, kidney function, electrocardiogram and other basic examinations. Secondly, in view of the fact that older pregnant women are more prone to chromosomal abnormalities, comprehensive genetic screening and non-invasive prenatal genetic diagnosis are essential. Finally, the fetal development and placental function can be observed through ultrasonic examination, and possible problems can be found and handled in time.
Prenatal examination can not only help pregnant women understand their physical conditions, but also prevent and deal with pregnancy complications in advance to protect the health of mothers and infants.
2、 Assisted reproductive technology
For older pregnant women, assisted reproductive technology is an effective method, which can increase the chance of pregnancy. Assisted reproductive technology mainly includes test tube baby and artificial insemination.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a common assisted reproductive technology, which can achieve pregnancy through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. This method can bypass women's fallopian tube problems and improve the probability of pregnancy. Artificial insemination is the direct injection of sperm into the uterus of women. It is applicable to some special circumstances, such as the insufficient quantity and quality of male sperm.
Assisted reproductive technology can help older pregnant women increase their chances of pregnancy, but when selecting and implementing these technologies, a series of problems such as ethics and law need to be solved, so it is recommended that they be carried out in professional hospitals.
3、 Nutrition supplement
Reasonable nutrition supplement is very important for the health of the elderly pregnant women and the development of the fetus. The diet should contain rich protein, vitamins and minerals to support the normal growth of the fetus. In addition, for pregnant women who lack nutrition, they can properly supplement folic acid, iron, calcium and other nutrients.
In addition to dietary supplements, elderly pregnant women can also consider supplementing health products. However, when selecting health care products, it is necessary to consult with doctors and ensure that the selected products meet relevant standards.
4、 Psychological counseling
Older pregnant women are often prone to anxiety, fear and other negative emotions due to the increase of age and reproductive risk. Therefore, psychological counseling is very important for them. Through communication with professional psychological consultants, we can talk about our doubts and pressures, receive professional psychological guidance, and reduce the impact of negative emotions on pregnancy.
In a word, a series of methods should be taken to reduce the risk and improve the fertility success rate of the elderly. Starting with prenatal examination, assisted reproductive technology, nutrition supplement and psychological counseling, we can help the elderly pregnant women spend a healthy and safe pregnancy.
