The Influence of Old Childbearing on Children and Parents
With the development of social economy and the progress of science and technology, more and more couples choose to give birth at an advanced age. However, the elderly childbearing will have a series of impacts on children and parents. The following will elaborate on children's health status, family stability, education and career planning, and psychological pressure.
1. Children's health
One of the main risks of elderly childbearing is the increased possibility of a certain congenital disease at birth. The increase of age leads to the decline of female egg quality, which may increase the probability of fetal chromosome abnormalities, such as Down syndrome. In addition, the health of pregnant women may also have an impact on the development of the fetus, such as hypertension and diabetes. Therefore, older pregnant women need to pay more attention to their own health, carry out regular prenatal examinations, and ensure the health of their children.
2. Family stability
Older childbearing may have an impact on family stability. The birth of children challenges the allocation of time and energy between couples. Older parents often face insufficient physical strength and energy when raising children. In addition, elderly parents may face retirement and health problems during the growth of their children, which will also affect the family's economy and daily life. Therefore, elderly couples need to fully consider the stability of the family when deciding to give birth and be ready.
3. Education and career planning
Older parents may have to face educational challenges for their children. They usually need to make long-term plans for their children's education costs, and ensure that they have sufficient job stability and income sources. In addition, elderly parents may face the problem of their own career planning during the growth of their children. When children need care and attention, elderly parents may need to slow down the pace of career development. Therefore, elderly couples should carry out comprehensive career and education planning before giving birth to meet these challenges.
4. Psychological pressure
Older childbearing may also bring psychological pressure to both spouses. First, elderly parents may face concerns about their children's future, including whether they can provide enough love and care, and whether they can see their children grow up. In addition, elderly parents may face age appropriate physical and mental health problems, which will also bring them some psychological burden. Therefore, couples need to make full communication and psychological preparation before deciding to give birth at an advanced age in order to reduce psychological pressure.

2. Adequate economic preparation

3. Career and education planning
