The Influence of Elderly Childbearing on the Health of Mother in law
Elderly childbearing refers to women's pregnancy and childbearing at the age of 35 and above. For mother-in-law, the physical health problems brought by the elderly childbirth cannot be ignored. First of all, elderly childbearing will increase the risk of maternal complications during pregnancy. After the age of 35, the ovarian function of women began to decline, and the quality of eggs also gradually declined, which easily led to complications during pregnancy, such as pregnancy hypertension, diabetes, etc. These complications pose a threat to the health of the mother-in-law.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing will increase the risk of maternal mothers suffering from chromosomal abnormalities. With the growth of women's age, the quality of eggs decreases and the probability of chromosomal abnormalities increases. The most common chromosomal abnormality is Down's syndrome. The risk of mother-in-law having such abnormal children will also increase, which is a heavy psychological burden for mother-in-law.
In addition, elderly childbearing also increases the risk of psychological stress and emotional disorders for mother-in-law. For older mothers, the pressure of pregnancy and childcare will be greater. As their mothers, mother-in-law needs to take more responsibilities and obligations. When they get older and their physical condition is not as good as young, their mother-in-law may feel powerless, which increases their risk of psychological pressure and emotional fluctuations.
The Family and Social Impact of Older Childbearing on Mother in law
Older childbearing will also have a certain impact on the mother-in-law's family and social life. First of all, the elderly childbirth will increase the family pressure of mother-in-law. For mothers in law who already have other children, the pressure of facing children's marriage problems and raising children is already large enough. In addition, the problem of elderly childbearing will further increase family pressure. Mothers in law need to assume more responsibilities and obligations to ensure the safety and health of elderly mothers and newborns.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing may lead to the narrowing of the mother-in-law's social circle. As the age increases, the mother-in-law's social circle gradually shrinks, and the role of her former friends and colleagues is occupied by housework and childcare. Therefore, the mother-in-law's social activities and social circle may be restricted, and the communication opportunities with other peers will be reduced, which has a certain impact on their mental health.
In addition, the elderly childbearing may also lead to a deeper generation gap between mother-in-law and children. Because of their older age, mother-in-law's ideas and thinking patterns may differ from their children's, and there may also be differences in their views on children's education methods and treatment of children. The existence of this generation gap may lead to tension and disharmony in family relations.
The economic pressure and financial arrangement of elderly childbearing on mother-in-law
Older childbearing will also have an impact on the economic situation of mother-in-law. First of all, the elderly childbirth will increase the economic pressure of mother-in-law. The health of elderly mothers needs more attention and care, and may require additional medical expenses and nutritional supplements, which will increase the economic burden of families.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing may require the mother-in-law to make adjustments in financial arrangements. Mothers in law may need to reassess their financial situation and make corresponding financial plans for the needs of elderly mothers and newborns. This may involve the adjustment of family assets, planning of investment income, etc., which requires the mother-in-law to make rational decisions.
In addition, elderly childbearing may also bring some uncertainty to the retirement life of mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law originally planned to retire at a certain age, but the elderly childbearing disrupted the plan, she needs to reconsider her retirement time and pension plan to meet the needs of the family.
The emotional relationship and spiritual support of elderly childbearing to mother-in-law
Older childbearing may have a certain impact on the emotional relationship and spiritual support of mother-in-law. First of all, elderly childbearing may lead to tension between mother-in-law and partner. When facing the problem of elderly childbearing, mother-in-law and husband may have different opinions, and they may have different opinions on whether to continue childbearing, which may increase the contradiction and tension between husband and wife.
Secondly, older childbearing may increase the expectations and pressure between mother-in-law and children. Mothers in law may place more expectations on their children, hoping that they can take more care of themselves after giving birth at an advanced age. This kind of expectation and pressure may bring burden to children and increase contradictions and conflicts between the two sides.
In addition, elderly childbearing may also increase mother-in-law's thinking and reflection on parent-child relationship. Faced with the decision to give birth at an advanced age, the mother-in-law may think about her relationship with her children, think about her mother's role and family role, and may have a certain impact on her emotional and mental state.
Summary
The influence of elderly childbearing on mother-in-law is multifaceted. From the aspects of physical health, family and social life, economic pressure and financial arrangements, as well as emotional relationships and spiritual support, older childbearing will bring certain impacts and challenges to mother-in-law. Therefore, before deciding to give birth at an advanced age, the mother-in-law should comprehensively assess her physical condition, financial ability and family support to make the most suitable choice for her.
