How does the elderly childbearing affect the couple's emotion and family stability?
With the social changes and the improvement of women's status, more and more couples choose to give birth at an advanced age. However, the elderly childbearing not only has certain risks to the physical health of the couple, but also may have a certain impact on the couple's emotional and family stability. This article will elaborate on the impact of elderly childbearing from four aspects: health, economic pressure, children's education and marital relationship.
good health
The elderly childbearing has certain risks to the health of the couple. The female reproductive system gradually ages with age, ovulation function declines, and the quality of eggs stored in the ovary will also decrease. This increases the risk of chromosomal abnormalities or birth defects. At the same time, women's pre natal and post natal recovery period will be longer, and physical recovery may be more difficult. For men, the quality and quantity of sperm will also be affected by age, increasing the risk of infertility. Therefore, elderly childbearing requires both husband and wife to carefully evaluate their physical conditions and choose the appropriate time and birth mode.
In addition, the elderly childbirth will also increase the risk of hypertension, diabetes and other diseases of pregnant women, leading to an increase in the incidence of complications during pregnancy. This will not only pose a threat to the health of the couple, but also may bring unnecessary economic burden and psychological pressure to the family.
Economic pressure
Older childbearing will also bring huge economic pressure to couples. With the growth of the age of both spouses, the economic conditions may have been relatively stable, but the elderly childbirth needs more medical investment. Especially for infertile couples, artificial reproduction technology (assisted reproduction technology), such as IVF, may be required, which is expensive and does not guarantee success. In addition, older women also need more prenatal care, post natal care and baby care. These will increase the family's economic burden, and may affect the quality of life of couples and family stability.
Family stability
Older childbearing may have an impact on family stability. Before deciding to give birth at an advanced age, couples should fully communicate and negotiate, taking into account the wishes and capabilities of both parties. If one party has a strong desire for children, while the other party is unwilling or unable to bear the risk of childbirth and the responsibility of parenting, it may cause tension and contradiction in the relationship between husband and wife. Older mothers need more rest and care during pregnancy, which may reduce the joint time and intimacy between husband and wife, leading to emotional indifference and alienation. The arrival of the baby will also bring new family roles and responsibilities. If the couple is not fully prepared and adaptable, it may have a negative impact on the relationship between husband and wife.
Children's education
Older childbearing will also have a certain impact on children's education. As couples grow older, they may have limitations in educational concepts, physical vitality and new knowledge contact. This may lead to their insufficient understanding of the methods and needs of children's education, and their inability to adapt to children's growth and development needs in time. In addition, older parents may face more physical health problems and cannot provide enough company and upbringing time, thus affecting their children's emotional development. Therefore, the elderly child-bearing couples should strengthen the learning and exchange of their children's education to provide a better growth environment for their children.
Summary
The elderly childbearing has had a noticeable impact on the couple's emotion and family stability. Health risks, economic pressure, family stability and children's education are all problems that elderly couples need to face. Therefore, both husband and wife should think deeply and consult professional doctors to comprehensively assess their physical condition and life preparation before making a decision on elderly childbearing. Only when the common will, physical condition and economic capacity of both parties allow, can we consider elder childbearing to ensure the stable and sustainable development of the couple's emotion and family.
