Advantages of having children at an advanced age
With the development of modern medical technology and the improvement of social conditions, more and more women choose to delay childbearing, that is, the elderly childbearing. The elderly childbearing has brought a series of advantages and positive effects to families and individuals.
1. More mature psychological state
Compared with young women, older women may have a more mature psychological state. They have accumulated rich experience in their career and marriage, and become more stable and rational. In the process of children's education and growth, older mothers are usually better able to cope with pressure, more patient and confident.
In addition, older mothers will have more enthusiasm and emotional input for childbearing. Because childbirth is a relatively more deliberate and deliberate decision for them, they have stronger expectations and love for their children, and may pay more attention to their children's education and cultivation.
2. More time to become a family pillar
Because the elderly childbearing often occurs in the stable stage of women's career and life, these women have more time and energy to take care of children. In contrast, young mothers often need to constantly balance their work and family responsibilities, which is more stressful. Older mothers may have more time to accompany their children and participate in their children's lives due to their better career planning.
In addition, the family economy may also be improved accordingly. Older mothers often make certain achievements in their careers and have better economic conditions. They can provide a better learning and growth environment, and provide better material conditions and educational resources for children.
Disadvantages of elder childbearing
In addition to a series of advantages, there are also some obvious disadvantages of elder childbearing.
1. Increased risk of pregnancy and childbirth
With the growth of age, women's risks during pregnancy and childbirth also increase. The decline in egg quality of elderly women may lead to infertility or recurrent miscarriage. Higher age also increases the risk of pregnancy complications, such as pregnancy induced hypertension and diabetes.
During childbirth, older women may face more complications and postoperative recovery problems, such as postpartum hemorrhage, infection, etc. In addition, gynecological diseases such as hysteromyoma and endometriosis of elderly women may also increase the risk of delivery.
2. Children's education may face difficulties
Due to the older parents, children's education may face some difficulties. The physical condition of parents may gradually decline, both physical strength and cognitive ability may decline. This will have a certain impact on child rearing, care and education.
In addition, parents may not be able to spend more time with their children, which may pose some challenges to their children's emotional needs and family relations. There may also be a generation gap. The communication between older parents and children may not be as smooth as that between younger parents.
3. Social pressure and concept influence
Elderly childbearing often faces various ideas and pressures from society and people around. According to the traditional concept, women's fertility declines significantly after a certain age, and mothers who give birth at an advanced age may face criticism and doubt. This may have a certain impact on women's psychology and family relations.
In addition, childbearing at an advanced age may also increase the social burden. As the elderly puerpera need more monitoring and care in medicine, the use of medical resources will also increase accordingly. At the same time, the children of the elderly mothers enter school age later, so the family needs to take a longer time to support and educate them.
Summary
The advantages of elder childbearing include more mature psychological state and more abundant time, which can promote better childcare environment and family stability. However, the elderly childbearing has also brought about problems such as increased risks of pregnancy and childbirth, difficulties in children's education, and social pressure and ideological impact. Therefore, for women who choose to give birth at an advanced age, it is necessary to fully consider their personal and family conditions and make wise decisions under the guidance of doctors.
