The impact of elderly childbearing on women
In modern society, more and more women choose to have children later, that is, to have children over the age of 30. However, the elderly childbearing will have a certain impact on women's physical and psychological. The following is a detailed description of the impact of elderly childbearing on women from four aspects: preparation before pregnancy, precautions during pregnancy, delivery risks and postpartum recovery.
Preparation before pregnancy
Before deciding to have a child, women who have given birth at an advanced age should first have a comprehensive physical examination, including blood pressure, blood sugar, thyroid function and other indicators. Older pregnant women often have a higher probability of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. These diseases will increase the risk of pregnancy complications and delivery.
In addition, women need to take adequate nutrition supplements before pregnancy to increase folic acid and other nutrients in the body to provide a good breeding environment.
Finally, women also need to consider their own breeding intentions and psychological preparation, and have enough patience and energy to face the education and upbringing of children.
Precautions during pregnancy
Older pregnant women need to pay special attention to their physical changes and health conditions during pregnancy. First of all, we should regularly check prenatal care and do a good job of prenatal care, report all physical indicators and abnormal feelings to the doctor in detail, and find and solve problems in a timely manner.
Secondly, elderly pregnant women are prone to vomiting, fatigue, edema and other uncomfortable symptoms, so it is necessary to keep moderate rest, improve life and eating habits, and avoid overwork and excessive salt intake.
In addition, the skin of elderly pregnant women is prone to color spots and stretch marks during pregnancy, so pay attention to moisturizing and use sunscreen measures to reduce skin problems.
Delivery risk
The delivery risk of elderly pregnant women is relatively high, mainly reflected in the following aspects. First of all, the incidence of hysteromyoma and adenomyosis is high, which may lead to delivery complications, such as dystocia, massive bleeding, etc.
Secondly, the vaginal relaxation and pelvic floor muscle function decline of elderly pregnant women are easy to lead to perineum laceration and urinary incontinence.
In addition, because the fetus of elderly pregnant women is often large, it is easy to lead to dystocia and the need for forceps delivery. At the same time, the placental function of elderly pregnant women may be poor, which will increase the risk of complications such as too much or too little amniotic fluid and placental abruption.
postpartum recovery
Older mothers also need to pay special attention to their physical conditions during the recovery process after childbirth. First of all, pay attention to the wound care of perineum wound and uterine planning incision, keep dry and clean, and conduct regular postpartum recheck.
Secondly, the elderly puerpera need to pay more attention to the nutrition supplement after delivery, especially the intake of protein and calcium to promote the recovery of the body and the secretion of milk.
Finally, the elderly mothers also need to reasonably arrange the work and rest time of mothers and babies to ensure that they have enough rest and sleep. At the same time, we need to seek family support and care to reduce our own pressure.
Summary
Older childbearing has a certain impact on women. From the four aspects of preparation before pregnancy, precautions during pregnancy, delivery risk and postpartum recovery, women need to pay attention to their own health status, and conduct comprehensive physical examination and nutrition supplementation. During pregnancy, we should pay attention to our own physical changes, reasonably arrange rest and improve living habits. In the process of delivery, we have to face greater risks, and we need to make corresponding prenatal preparations and examinations. In the process of postpartum recovery, attention should be paid to wound care and nutrition supplementation, and family support and help should be sought.
