1. Increased fertility risk
Elderly childbearing refers to the pregnancy and childbearing of women over 35 years old. With the growth of age, the quality of eggs in women's bodies gradually declined, and the number of eggs also decreased. This increases the risk of pregnancy. For example, the decrease of endometrial thickness is prone to fetal dysplasia, premature delivery, low birth weight and other conditions. In addition, the elderly pregnant women are also more likely to have complications such as gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension.
In addition, the elderly childbirth also increases the risk of maternal childbirth. Due to the weakening of female uterine muscle strength and prolonged labor process, dystocia is likely to occur, and even cesarean section is required. These medical interventions are a kind of physical burden for the mother, increasing the recovery time of the mother and the difficulty of physical recovery.
Therefore, the physical and psychological pressure brought by the elderly childbirth to the mother is greater, which is not conducive to the mother's health.
2. Increased risk of genetic defects
There is a certain correlation between the elderly childbearing and genetic defects. With the increase of age, the probability of chromosomal abnormalities in female eggs also increases. The most common abnormality is chromosome number abnormality, that is, the possibility of chromosome abnormality causing embryo defects increases. For example, Down syndrome is a case of genetic defects caused by chromosome abnormalities.
In addition, elderly childbearing is also associated with the risk of some genetic diseases. There are gene mutations in some genetic diseases, and the risk of these mutations being passed on to the next generation in older pregnant women is also increased. These genetic diseases often have some adverse effects on the physical and intellectual development of offspring.
Therefore, the elderly fertility increases the risk of genetic defects and poses a potential threat to the health of offspring.
3. Reduction of parental education resources
With the growth of age, the physiological function and cognitive ability of the human body gradually decline. Therefore, elderly parents may not have enough energy and time to take care of and educate their children. They often lack the patience and vitality to respond to children's needs, and may not be able to give children enough care and inspiration.
On the other hand, the physical discomfort of elderly parents may make them unable to devote themselves to the parent-child relationship. They may lack the time to accompany their children and cannot actively participate in their children's learning and activities. In this way, children's educational resources will be limited, affecting their overall development.
Therefore, the elderly childbearing may lead to the reduction of parents' educational resources, which will have a negative impact on the educational development of future generations.
4. Social estrangement and difficulty in acceptance
With the growth of age, the generation gap between parents and children may expand, and communication and understanding are difficult. Older parents may have different life experiences and values from the younger generation, making it difficult to actively participate in their children's lives. Children may feel unable to be understood and supported, and fall into emotional loneliness and confusion.
In addition, older parents often face the problem of peer retrogression, such as retirement, encountering disease, etc. They may not be able to provide stable family environment and resource support to their children, and may even need children to take care of them, resulting in confusion of family roles and heavy responsibilities.
Therefore, elderly childbearing may lead to social estrangement and family relationship problems, which may have a negative impact on the psychological and emotional health of future generations.
summary
The elderly childbearing has many adverse effects on offspring. First, the increase in fertility risk may lead to complications during pregnancy and difficulties in maternal rehabilitation. Secondly, the increased risk of genetic defects may lead to the transmission and development of genetic diseases. Moreover, the reduction of parents' educational resources may limit the comprehensive development of children. Finally, social barriers and difficulties in acceptance make children face emotional confusion and heavy family responsibilities. Therefore, childbearing at an advanced age is not a good choice for future generations. We should try to choose childbearing at the right age to ensure the health and all-round development of children.
