The Influence of Old Childbearing on Mother's Body
With the development of society and the enhancement of women's independent consciousness, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, and the elderly childbearing has gradually become a common phenomenon. However, the elderly childbearing has a series of effects on the mother's body. This article will elaborate on the influence of elderly childbearing on the mother's body from four aspects of physiology, psychology, social interaction and economy.
Physiological effects
First of all, elderly childbearing will increase the risk of maternal complications during pregnancy. With the growth of age, the fertility of women will decline, and the quality and quantity of eggs will gradually decrease. This reduces the chance of pregnancy and healthy fetus, and increases the risk of early abortion, hypertensive pregnancy disease, diabetes and other complications.
Secondly, elderly childbearing will also increase the difficulty of postpartum recovery. After many years of physiological changes, the mother's body has gradually entered the menopause stage, which means that the metabolic capacity and recovery capacity of the body are relatively weak. In addition to the severe impact of childbirth on the body, it takes longer and more efforts for the mother to recover.
Finally, older childbearing also increases the risk of illness for pregnant women. With the growth of age, the mother's immunity will gradually decline, and her resistance to germs will also weaken. This makes pregnant women more likely to be infected with various diseases, such as colds, rubella, etc., which will have adverse effects on the development of the fetus and the mother's body.
Psychological influence
Older childbearing will also have a certain impact on the psychological state of mothers. First of all, many elderly mothers will feel anxious and nervous. They may worry about whether their physical condition can withstand the process of pregnancy and childbirth, and whether they can take care of their children after birth.
Secondly, older childbearing may bring more pressure and burden. Women usually have a certain career and economic foundation in their old age, and childbirth will have a certain impact on their professional and personal development. This may make them feel confused and at a loss.
Finally, the elderly childbearing may also lead to the occurrence of postpartum depression. With the growth of age, women's life experience and psychological state may become more complex. In addition, the significant impact of childbirth on the body and family may make some elderly mothers fall into postpartum depression.
Social impact
Older childbearing also has a certain impact on mothers' social relations. First, age differences may make it difficult for mothers to communicate with other women of the same age. They may face the problem of generation gap with young women in life, and cannot share the same topics and experiences with them.
Secondly, elder childbearing may affect the parent-child relationship between mothers and children. Due to the large age gap, mothers may face more barriers and difficulties in understanding during the growth of their children, and even be physically inconvenient to accompany their children.
Finally, the elderly childbearing may also affect the relationship between mother and spouse. Under the dual pressure of career and family, couples may have problems such as insufficient mutual understanding and poor communication, which will affect their feelings and family harmony.
economic impact
Older childbearing will also have an impact on mothers' economic status. First of all, the elderly childbearing will increase the family's economic burden. The cost of children's education and upbringing will become an important expenditure of the family, while the mother may need more attention and care after giving birth at an advanced age, further increasing the family's financial pressure.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing may have an impact on the mother's career development. Long vacations are required during pregnancy and postpartum recovery, which may lead to the interruption or reduction of mothers' career. With the growth of age, mothers also face the reality of fierce competition when returning to the workplace, which increases the difficulty of employment.
Finally, elderly childbearing may also have an impact on mothers' retirement plans. After giving birth at an advanced age, mothers will need more time and energy to take care of their children, which may delay mothers' retirement plans, thus affecting their retirement life and economic security.
Summary
To sum up, the impact of elderly childbearing on the mother's body is mainly reflected in four aspects: physiological, psychological, social and economic. Physiologically, the elderly childbirth will increase the risk of complications during pregnancy, increase the difficulty of postpartum recovery, and increase the possibility of illness for pregnant women. Psychologically, the elderly childbirth will lead to anxiety, stress and postpartum depression. In terms of social interaction, elderly childbearing may bring difficulties in communication with peers, estrangement in parent-child relationship, and problems in husband and wife relationship. In terms of economy, giving birth at an advanced age will increase the family's economic burden and affect the mother's career development and retirement plan. Therefore, women should carefully consider various factors when choosing to give birth at an advanced age and consult doctors to make the most appropriate decision.
