The reasons why giving birth at an advanced age is bad for children
In modern society, with the progress of science and technology and the improvement of medical conditions, more and more women choose late marriage and late childbirth. However, the reason why elder childbearing is not good for children has gradually aroused people's attention. This article will elaborate on the reasons why the elderly childbearing is not good for children from the aspects of health, genetic diseases, quality of life and parent-child relationship.
1、 Good health
The health status of the elderly women who gave birth may not be as stable as that of young women, and they are prone to complications during pregnancy. Research shows that older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from diseases such as pregnancy hypertension and diabetes, which increases the risk of premature delivery and low birth weight infants. In addition, the physical resistance of elderly women during childbirth is weak, and they are prone to infection with viruses and bacteria, posing a threat to their children's health.
In addition, the decline in the function of the reproductive organs of elderly women may lead to diseases such as endometriosis or placental dysfunction during pregnancy. These diseases will adversely affect the normal development of the fetus and increase the risk of birth defects and various diseases.
Therefore, the elderly childbearing poses a major threat to children's health.
2、 Genetic disease
Children born at an advanced age are more likely to suffer from genetic diseases. With the growth of women's age, the quality of eggs will gradually decline, and the probability of chromosomal abnormalities will also increase. Chromosome abnormalities include Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, etc. These diseases will bring serious harm to children's physical and mental health.
Moreover, the sperm quality of the elderly father may also decline, which is easy to lead to abnormal sperm chromosomes. Some studies have found that there is a certain correlation between the father's old age and the child's autism, attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder and other neurodevelopmental problems.
Therefore, the elderly childbearing increases the risk of children suffering from genetic diseases.
3、 Quality of life
Parents who give birth at an advanced age may not be able to give their children enough care and companionship due to their older age and limited energy. They may face the pressure of their own professional development and cannot devote themselves to the growth of their children. At the same time, older parents may not have enough mental and physical strength to meet their children's needs, and cannot provide adequate care and education.
In addition, children born at an advanced age often face higher economic burden. Because parents are older, they will retire earlier, and may need to pay for education and living expenses for a longer time, which will bring difficulties to the growth of children.
Therefore, elderly childbearing has a certain negative impact on children's quality of life.
4、 Parent-child relationship
Older childbearing may lead to unstable parent-child relationship. Parents with a large age gap may have a big generation gap with their children in spirit, interest and thought, which leads to barriers to mutual understanding and communication. In parent-child communication, parents may be unable to understand their children's needs and emotions, resulting in apathy or quarrel.
At the same time, the elderly parents may be unable to accompany their children through the important stage of growth due to the decline of their physical functions, and lack the common experience and memory of parents and children. This may lead to alienation of parent-child relationship and inferiority of children.
Therefore, elderly childbearing may have a certain negative impact on parent-child relationship.
summary
To sum up, the reasons for the bad effects of elder childbearing on children mainly include physical health, genetic diseases, quality of life and parent-child relationship. Elderly childbearing may increase children's health risks, leading to the emergence of genetic diseases; Older parents may lead to insufficient care and care for their children, which will adversely affect the parent-child relationship. Therefore, it is suggested that women should give birth within an appropriate age range to provide better protection for the health and overall development of children.
