Psychological risk of elderly childbearing on women
Elderly childbearing refers to women's pregnancy and childbearing at the age of 35 and above. Although the progress of modern medicine makes it more feasible to give birth at an advanced age, compared with young women, older women face more risks and challenges. One of them is psychological risk.
First, older women may face anxiety and stress. With the growth of age, women are more likely to feel pressure and anxiety, and worry about their fertility and the health of the fetus. The society's negative evaluation and stereotype of the elderly mothers will also increase their psychological burden.
Secondly, elderly women may face loneliness and social pressure. In the modern society of late marriage and late childbearing, many friends and peers of older women have already finished childbearing and have their own families. But they are still pursuing their dreams. This difference may cause them to feel lonely and isolated, and also face pressure from their families and society.
Finally, the elderly childbearing may also have an impact on women's family relations. Since the birth of a baby is a major change for both husband and wife, the elderly birth may increase the contradictions and disputes between husband and wife. At the same time, women may need more help and support in the process of pregnancy and upbringing, which may also affect the balance and stability of the family.
Physiological risks of elderly childbearing on women
In addition to psychological risks, the elderly childbearing will also bring a series of physiological risks. First, the egg quality of older women will decline. With the growth of age, the number and quality of female eggs will decrease, thus increasing the difficulty of pregnancy and the risk of miscarriage.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing will increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. Older women are more likely to have complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension, diabetes, placental dysfunction during pregnancy, which will cause potential harm to the health of mothers and fetuses.
In addition, older women also face a higher risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities. With the growth of age, the ability of female eggs to divide chromosomes decreases, leading to an increased risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities. This may lead to congenital diseases or developmental abnormalities at birth.
The economic risks of elderly childbearing to women
Elderly childbearing not only affects women's physical and mental health, but also brings a series of economic risks. First of all, a series of examinations and treatments are required for the elderly childbearing, which will increase the economic burden. For example, physical examination, ovulation induction therapy, test tube baby, etc., all of these require high costs.
Secondly, older children may need longer maternity leave and paternity leave. Due to the growth of age, women need to take a longer time to recover and care for newborns after childbirth. This means that they may need longer maternity leave and paternity leave, which may affect their career development and economic income.
In addition, elderly women may face the economic pressure of supporting multiple generations after retirement. Since the children born at an advanced age may not be independent after retirement, women need to bear the responsibility of raising and educating children, which will have a certain impact on economic conditions and retirement life.
Summary
This paper discusses in detail the psychological, physiological and economic risks of elderly childbearing on women. Psychological anxiety and social pressure, physiological decline in egg quality and the risk of complications during pregnancy, increased economic costs and career obstacles are all challenges for women in the elderly childbearing. Therefore, for women who are ready to give birth at an advanced age, they need to fully understand and understand these risks, and make full preparations and planning.
