Social concept of elderly childbearing
With the social progress and the development of medical technology, the elderly childbearing has gradually become a trend. However, different social concepts have certain restrictions and views on the elderly childbearing.
First, some people believe that giving birth at an advanced age will increase the health risks of children. With the growth of age, women's fertility and fertility risk will gradually increase. There are certain fertility risks, such as premature delivery, low birth weight infants, etc. In addition, childbearing at an advanced age may also increase the risk of children suffering from certain genetic diseases.
Secondly, some people believe that giving birth at an advanced age will cause economic burden to families and individuals. With the growth of age, women's ability to conceive gradually weakens, and they need assisted reproductive technology to get pregnant. These technologies are relatively expensive and may not be affordable for most ordinary families.
In addition, the elderly childbearing may also lead to the instability of the family structure. Because the elderly childbearing is related to late marriage or remarriage, if the elderly women have pregnancy problems, it may bring some variables to the newly married life. At this time, both husband and wife need to face fertility pressure and psychological pressure, which may have a certain impact on family relations.
Legal restrictions on elderly childbearing
In order to protect the rights and interests of women and children, many countries have restricted childbearing at an advanced age and formulated corresponding laws and regulations.
First of all, some countries stipulate that women can no longer carry out IVF and other assisted reproductive technology operations after reaching a certain age. This is because the success rate of assisted reproductive technology (ART) pregnancy for elderly women is low, and it will also increase the health risk of children.
Secondly, some countries require older women to undergo medical examination before undergoing assisted reproductive technology. Doctors will evaluate women's physical conditions and pregnancy risks to determine whether they are suitable for elder childbearing.
In addition, some countries also set the maximum age limit for elderly childbearing. Women over a certain age will not be able to obtain the support of assisted reproductive technology.
Hospital practice and elderly childbearing
Many hospitals have relevant technologies and equipment that can provide reproductive support and counseling services for elderly women.
First, the hospital will provide comprehensive physical examination and assessment for elderly women. Doctors will assess women's physical condition and pregnancy risk through various examinations, and provide corresponding suggestions.
Secondly, the hospital will provide women with the most appropriate assisted reproductive technology according to their specific conditions. For example, for older women, hospitals may recommend the use of third-generation IVF technology to improve the likelihood of successful pregnancy.
In addition, the hospital will also provide psychological counseling and support for elderly women. The elderly childbirth may bring some psychological pressure to women. The hospital will help women reduce anxiety and pressure through professional psychological consultation.
summary
There are certain restrictions and supports for the social concept, legal provisions and hospital practice of elderly childbearing. In terms of social concept, it is believed that elder childbearing will increase the health risk of children and bring economic burden to families. In terms of legal provisions, many countries have restricted the elderly childbearing, requiring women to accept medical examinations and limiting the age of use of assisted reproductive technology. However, hospitals play an active role in providing reproductive support and counseling services.
