Disadvantages of elder childbearing
With the social progress and the improvement of medical conditions, the elderly childbearing is more and more common. However, the elderly childbearing has also brought a series of problems and challenges. The following will elaborate on the shortcomings of elderly childbearing in terms of physical health, risks of pregnancy and childbirth, later rearing pressure and social factors.
good health
The physical quality of elderly pregnant women is generally poor, and their physical functions have begun to decline. After the age of 35, the ovarian function of women will gradually decline, and the egg quality will also decline. In addition, the elderly pregnant women may have chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, which bring certain risks to the health of the fetus and the mother.
In addition, older pregnant women are more likely to have complications such as vomiting, edema, placental insufficiency during pregnancy, and even increase the risk of premature delivery, stillbirth, and congenital defects. These problems will affect the health of pregnant women.
In order to overcome these problems, elderly pregnant women should conduct a comprehensive physical examination in advance to understand their physical conditions. The doctor will give targeted suggestions based on the physical examination results to help the elderly pregnant women get pregnant healthily.
Maternity risk
Older pregnant women face higher risks during labor than younger pregnant women. First of all, the body of elderly pregnant women has aged, and the uterine function has gradually declined, which may lead to dystocia. Secondly, older pregnant women are more likely to have complications such as abnormal fetal position, premature rupture of membranes, and pre eclampsia, which require closer monitoring and treatment.
In view of these risks, it is recommended that older pregnant women choose a formal and experienced hospital for delivery. This can ensure timely medical treatment and professional obstetric care, and reduce accidents in the labor process.
Post rearing pressure
People who give birth at an advanced age are usually relatively stable in terms of economy, occupation and family. However, the elderly childbearing will also bring a certain pressure on later rearing.
First, older parents are older, and their physical condition and energy are not as good as those of younger parents. In the process of baby care, you may feel great physical pressure in the face of such tedious tasks as staying up late, feeding, changing diapers, etc. In addition, with the growth of children, older parents also need to provide more educational resources and attention for their children.
In order to overcome these pressures, elderly parents should reasonably plan their lives and seek help from family and social support. Reasonably arranging work and family time, and making full use of weekends and holidays to interact with children can reduce the pressure of later rearing.
social factors
Older childbearing may cause some controversy and prejudice in society. On the one hand, people around question whether the elderly parents can take good care of their children and provide enough care, which may affect their confidence and mental health. On the other hand, there may be moral judgments on the elderly childbearing in the society, believing that the elderly childbearing is immoral or irresponsible.
In order to overcome the pressure brought by these social factors, elderly parents should maintain self-confidence and optimism. They should believe that they have enough ability and wisdom to raise children, and they can also change the social prejudice against elderly childbearing through active communication and interaction.
To sum up, the disadvantages of elderly childbearing are mainly manifested in physical health, pregnancy and childbirth risks, later rearing pressure and social factors. However, through active health management, choosing a regular hospital, reasonably planning life and maintaining a confident and optimistic attitude, elderly parents can effectively overcome the impact of these problems and create a good environment for their children's growth.
