The Influence of Elderly Childbearing on Women's Body
With the development of society, more and more women choose to have children over 30 or even after 40 years old when they marry or have children late. However, the elderly childbearing will have a certain impact on women's body. This article will discuss the influence of elderly childbearing on women's body from the aspects of physiology, psychology, pregnancy risk and recovery after childbirth.
1、 Physiological effects
1. Fertility decline: with the growth of age, the ovarian function of women will gradually decline, and the health of the reproductive system will also gradually decline. The quality and quantity of eggs will be reduced, resulting in reduced fertility.
2. Increased risk of pregnancy complications: Older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from some pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension, etc. These complications may pose risks to the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus.
3. Other physical problems increase: With the growth of age, women's bodies will have more problems, such as osteoporosis, chronic diseases, etc. These problems may affect the health during pregnancy.
2、 Psychological influence
1. Stress and anxiety: Older pregnant women face more stress and anxiety, and worry about the health of their babies and whether they can successfully conceive and deliver. This psychological pressure may affect women's physical and mental health.
2. Anxiety and nervousness: Older pregnant women are more sensitive to their physical conditions and pregnancy risks, and may feel uneasy and nervous, affecting their quality of life.
3. Worry and loneliness: Compared with younger pregnant women, older pregnant women may face greater loneliness and anxiety, and worry that their babies cannot grow up with their peers, and lack opportunities for companionship and mutual understanding.
3、 Increased risk during pregnancy
1. Increased risk of abortion: With the increase of age, the thickness and quality of female endometrium will decline, leading to an increased risk of abortion.
2. The probability of multiple pregnancy increases: When elderly pregnant women are treated with assisted reproductive technology, it will greatly increase the probability of multiple pregnancy, and multiple pregnancy has a greater health risk to both pregnant women and fetuses.
3. Increased risk of threatened preterm birth: Older pregnant women are more likely to have threatened preterm birth, which has a certain impact on fetal development, and will also increase the pressure on pregnant women's bodies.
4、 Recovery after childbirth
1. Long recovery period after childbirth: The physical recovery ability of older women is relatively weak, and the recovery time after childbirth may be longer, requiring more rest and recuperation.
2. Joint problems: The aging will lead to the aggravation of joint problems, and childbirth will bring greater burden to the body, which is easy to cause joint pain and discomfort.
3. Other physical problems: Older women may face more problems after childbirth, such as postpartum depression, urinary incontinence, etc. These problems will have a certain impact on women's physical and mental health and childcare.
To sum up, elderly childbearing has a certain impact on women's bodies. Physiologically, fertility decline, increased risk of complications during pregnancy and other physical problems are the main influencing factors. Psychologically, the pressure, anxiety and anxiety faced by older pregnant women will also affect their physical health. In addition, older pregnant women face more risks during pregnancy and have a longer recovery period after childbirth. Therefore, it is very important for the elderly pregnant women to make physical preparation and psychological adjustment in time.
