What is the impact of elderly childbearing on women's bodies?
In modern society, with the increase of women's delayed childbearing age, the elderly childbearing has become a common phenomenon. However, the elderly childbearing will have a series of effects on women's bodies. We need to pay attention to these effects and take corresponding measures to protect women's health. This article will elaborate on the influence of elderly childbearing on women's body from four aspects of physiology, psychology, society and economy.
Physiological effects
First, the risk of pregnancy complications increases. With the growth of age, women's physical functions begin to decline gradually, such as the quality of eggs declines, the incidence of uterine fibroids increases, and so on. These will increase the risk of pregnancy complications, such as hypertension, diabetes, premature delivery, placental dysfunction, and so on, posing a serious threat to women's health.
Second, the difficulty of delivery increases. The delivery of elderly women is often accompanied by more complications. For example, pelvic muscle weakness, vaginal bleeding, uterine contraction function decline, these factors will increase the difficulty of delivery and the rise of cesarean section rate. At the same time, women's elderly childbearing also increases the risk of fetal congenital abnormalities.
Third, a longer recovery period. Older women need a longer recovery period to recover their physical functions after childbirth. The physical impact and fatigue brought by childbirth will make women's physical condition worse and delay the recovery time. This not only increases women's living burden, but also may have a negative impact on women's ability to nurture and work.
Psychological influence
First, anxiety and stress increase. Older women face more uncertainties and risks during pregnancy, which will lead them to feel more anxious and stressed. Worrying about the health of the fetus and their own physical condition will have a negative impact on women psychologically.
Second, the social pressure from inside and outside. In the social concept, women's childbearing age is usually before the age of 30, and elderly childbearing is vulnerable to criticism and pressure from people around. These external pressures may impose psychological burdens on women themselves compared with those of early born children.
Third, the impact on marriage. Older childbearing may have a certain impact on the marital relationship between husband and wife. Both husband and wife need to bear more economic pressure and childcare responsibilities, which may aggravate the contradiction and friction between husband and wife. At the same time, women may feel anxious and uneasy when their children grow up, which will have a certain impact on family relations.
social influence
First, waste of labor resources. The elderly childbearing of women means that the childbearing age has been delayed for a period of time, which leads to the waste of childbearing labor force. During this period, these women may not be able to work normally, which will have a certain economic impact on society.
Second, the elderly care. An important problem of women's elderly childbearing is that when the children reach adulthood, women are already relatively old, which may bring some problems and burdens to the later education and elderly support of children.
Third, changes in population structure. The increase of elderly childbearing will change the age structure of the overall population, leading to the intensification of population aging. This may bring a series of challenges to social and economic development, including increased pressure on the social security system, insufficient labor supply and other issues.
economic impact
First, medical expenses during pregnancy and childbirth increased. Older pregnant women need more medical examination and care during pregnancy and childbirth, which will increase medical expenses. At the same time, more examinations may be needed to exclude the congenital abnormalities of the fetus, further increasing the economic burden.
Second, the family's economic burden has increased. Older childbearing usually requires more family investment, including children's education costs, medical costs, etc. This will have a certain impact on the economic situation of families, especially for families with low income.
Third, women's career development is limited. Older childbearing will have a certain impact on women's career development. Women need more time and energy during the breast-feeding and upbringing period of their children, which may lead to stagnation or limitation in their career and affect the promotion of income and position.
Summary
Older childbearing has many effects on women's body, including physical, psychological, social and economic aspects. Physiologically, the risk of pregnancy complications increased, the difficulty of delivery increased and the recovery period prolonged; In psychological aspect, anxiety and pressure increase, internal and external social pressure, and the impact on marriage relationship; In the social aspect, the waste of labor resources, the problem of elderly support and the change of population structure; In terms of economy, medical expenses during pregnancy and childbirth increased, family economic burden increased and women's career development was limited. Therefore, we need to have a clear understanding of the impact of elderly childbearing, and strengthen relevant publicity and education to protect women's health and quality of life.
