Physiological effects of elderly childbearing on women
With the improvement of social and economic conditions and the improvement of women's education level, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing. However, the elderly childbearing has a certain impact on women's health and physiological status.
First of all, the elderly childbearing increases the risk of complications during pregnancy. Age increase will lead to the decline of the number and quality of eggs in women, and increase the incidence of abortion, premature delivery and fetal chromosomal abnormalities. At the same time, the increase of women's age will also increase the risk of pregnancy induced hypertension, diabetes, anemia and other diseases.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing may increase the incidence of postpartum complications. Women's ability to recover after childbirth at an advanced age is poor, and they are prone to complications such as placental abruption, postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal infection, etc. In addition, the uterine contractility of elderly mothers is relatively weak, which is easy to lead to postpartum uterine bleeding.
In addition, older mothers also face greater fatigue pressure during pregnancy. Due to the growth of age, women's physical functions decline, and their prenatal pressure resistance weakens. They are often prone to fatigue, anxiety and depression. These negative emotions not only affect women's mental health, but also may affect the healthy development of the fetus.
The Psychological Influence of Old Childbearing on Women
In addition to physiological effects, the elderly childbearing also has a certain impact on women's mental health.
First, women often face pressure from family and society. The traditional concept believes that women must complete the reproductive task at a specific age. Delaying childbearing may lead to family and social dissatisfaction and pressure, which will have a negative impact on women's mental health.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing will also increase the possibility of women's anxiety and worry. Due to physiological and psychological pressure, women often worry about the health of their children, whether they can successfully conceive and give birth, and question their ability to perform the role of mother.
In addition, some women may face the confusion of great disparity with their children's age. Older childbearing may lead to the mismatch between women's physical and mental conditions and their young children, thus affecting the mother child relationship and communication.
The Social Impact of Older Childbearing on Women
The elderly childbearing not only has an impact on individual women, but also has a certain impact on society.
First of all, the elderly childbearing has increased the social economic burden. With the increase of women's age, the pressure of health care and nursing for the fetus and newborn will also increase. At the same time, with the postponement of the childbearing age, women need to spend more energy and money on infertility treatment, which puts considerable pressure on the family's financial situation.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing has also increased the demand for social medical resources. Due to special physiological conditions, elderly mothers often need more medical examination and monitoring, which will take up a lot of medical resources and the time and energy of medical staff.
In addition, the elderly childbearing may also cause people to think about the timing of reproduction and lifestyle, and have a certain impact on the social concept of reproduction. The change of views and attitudes towards elder childbearing may have a certain impact on the formulation of social policies and laws.
Summary
The impact of elderly childbearing on women is not only reflected in the physical, but also in the psychological and social aspects. Physiologically, older mothers face increased risk of complications during pregnancy, postpartum complications and increased fatigue pressure during pregnancy. Psychologically, women will face family and social pressure, anxiety and worry, as well as confusion that does not match the age of their children. In society, the elderly childbearing has increased the social economic burden and the demand for medical resources, but also has a certain impact on the social concept of childbearing. Therefore, women need to fully consider these factors when deciding to give birth at an advanced age, and make wise choices under the guidance of doctors.
