The Influence of Older Childbearing on Couple Relationship
Elderly childbearing refers to the phenomenon of pregnancy and childbirth among women aged 35 and above. With the development of modern society, more and more couples choose to delay childbearing. However, the elderly childbearing may have a series of effects on the relationship between husband and wife. This article will elaborate from four aspects: fertility risk, pressure and emotional change, economic pressure and social support.
Fertility risk
The risk of pregnancy and childbirth increases with the age of women. Older mothers are more likely to have complications such as gestational diabetes, hypertension, placental abruption, and even have the risk of birth defects. These reproductive risks not only threaten the mother's health, but also increase the pressure and anxiety between couples.
Secondly, in the process of giving birth at an advanced age, couples often need to go through a series of medical examinations and treatments. This will not only cost a lot of time and money, but also affect the relationship between husband and wife. Couples need to face possible failures and setbacks together, and also need to support and understand each other to cope with the pressure of childbirth.
In addition, the success rate of elderly childbearing is relatively low, and couples often need to try many times to get pregnant successfully. This psychological twists and turns and the ups and downs of hope may also bring psychological burden and emotional pressure to couples.
Stress and emotional change
Various pressures in the process of elderly childbearing may have an impact on the couple's emotions. First of all, if couples have different expectations and wishes in terms of fertility, it may lead to contradictions and conflicts between couples. One party is eager to have children, while the other party may hesitate because of fear of risks and burdens.
Secondly, couples may face pressure and judgment from outside in the process of childbirth. Expectations and doubts of family members, friends and even the society may cause pressure on the relationship between husband and wife. Couples need to understand and support each other's choices, but also need to stick to unity and work together to cope with external pressure.
In addition, the growth of women's childbearing age may cause couples to worry about the future. They may worry about their inability to accompany their children to grow up, or their future health problems. This kind of future anxiety may lead to instability and emotional fluctuations in the relationship between husband and wife.
Economic pressure
Older childbearing is often accompanied by greater economic pressure. As the maternal age increases, couples may need to spend more money on medical expenses. The application of IVF, IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies may also increase the economic burden of families.
At the same time, with the growth of age, the career development of couples may also be affected. Women may need to make a choice between career and family, or reduce their working hours to take into account the growth of children. This may also increase the economic burden and family responsibilities between couples.
Therefore, couples need to seriously consider their own economic status and psychological endurance before giving birth at an advanced age, and make wise decisions.
social support
In the process of elderly childbearing, couples need social support and understanding. Professional advice and guidance from hospitals and doctors are very important for couples. They can provide relevant examination and treatment plans, and explain the risks and effects of childbirth to couples.
In addition, the support of family and friends also plays a positive role in stabilizing the relationship between husband and wife. Their encouragement and understanding can reduce the pressure and burden of the couple and enhance their confidence in coping with difficulties together.
Of course, mutual support and understanding between husband and wife are also important factors to establish a stable husband and wife relationship. They need to face the difficulties and pressures brought about by childbirth together, and support, care and understand each other. Only through joint efforts can couples overcome the challenges of old age childbirth and better maintain their relationship.
Summary
The elderly childbearing has a complex impact on the relationship between husband and wife. Fertility risk, pressure and emotional change, economic pressure and social support will all have different effects on the relationship between husband and wife. Couples should jointly face the challenges brought by childbirth, establish stable relationships through mutual support and understanding, and lay a solid foundation for the healthy growth of children and the happiness of families.
