Key points of preparation work for elder childbearing
With the development of society and the improvement of people's awareness, more and more couples choose to give birth at an advanced age. However, the risk of childbirth at an advanced age is relatively high. In order to ensure the health and safety of mothers and babies, preparations are particularly important. This article will elaborate on the key points of fertility preparation for the elderly from four aspects: nutrition and health care, physical examination, psychological preparation and hospital selection.
1、 Nutrition and health care
Women should strengthen nutrition and health care before preparing for the elderly childbearing. First, ensure adequate intake of protein, vitamins and minerals to meet the needs of fetal growth. Secondly, we should control our weight, reasonably control our diet, and avoid the impact of obesity or malnutrition on fetal development. In addition, during the preparation period, smoking should be stopped, caffeine intake should be limited, and excessive drinking should be avoided. These bad habits will cause potential harm to the fetus.
Couples who are expected to give birth at an advanced age should also carry out gene testing to understand the risk of genetic defects they carry. According to the test results, the birth plan can be reasonably arranged to reduce the risk of fetal disease.
Finally, regular physical activity and proper exercise will help to strengthen the physique, improve blood circulation, and improve fertility opportunities. However, excessive and intense exercise should be avoided to avoid physical discomfort and unnecessary risks.
2、 Physical examination
Before giving birth at an advanced age, both husband and wife should receive a comprehensive physical examination. Women need gynecological examination, breast examination and endometrial thickness measurement to ensure the health of reproductive organs. In addition, blood tests, endocrine tests and immunological tests are also necessary to eliminate potential fertility problems.
Men need to carry out semen analysis to detect sperm morphology, sperm density, sperm vitality and other indicators to assess reproductive capacity. For couples with fertility problems, assisted reproductive technologies such as testicular puncture or sperm freezing can also be used to improve the fertility success rate.
After a comprehensive physical examination, both husband and wife can understand their own fertility potential and possible problems, and choose the appropriate time and method of childbirth.
3、 Psychological preparation
The elderly childbearing has a certain test on the psychological endurance of both husband and wife. Therefore, in the preparatory work, couples should strengthen psychological preparation and actively deal with possible setbacks and difficulties.
First of all, the couple should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and believe that they can successfully welcome the arrival of new life. Secondly, couples should strengthen communication and understanding to face difficulties and pressure together. In addition, it is also important to seek advice and support. You can consult doctors, experts or other couples who have experienced advanced childbearing to obtain psychological support and advice.
Finally, both husband and wife should be prepared for the life changes brought about by childbirth. Including family economic planning, energy allocation and time arrangement.
4、 Hospital selection
Choosing the right hospital is a crucial link in the preparation for the birth of the elderly. To choose a formal obstetrics and gynecology hospital, the technical level and equipment and facilities of the hospital must meet certain standards.
First of all, the hospital should have a professional gynecological and reproductive medicine team that can provide all-round medical services and care for elderly couples.
Secondly, the hospital facilities should be complete, including advanced medical equipment, comfortable wards and convenient medical procedures. These elements ensure that hospitals can provide safe and efficient medical services.
Finally, it is also of great reference value to know the service quality and reputation of the hospital by consulting other patients who have already visited the hospital.
Summary
The preparation for the birth of the elderly needs to be comprehensively considered from four aspects: nutrition and health care, physical examination, psychological preparation and hospital selection. Women should strengthen nutrition, control weight, maintain physical activity and have regular physical examination. Couples should have a comprehensive physical examination to understand their fertility potential and problems. Strengthen psychological preparation and actively face difficulties and pressures. Select a suitable hospital to ensure the professionalism and completeness of the medical team and equipment. Elderly childbearing is a comprehensive project. Only when we are fully prepared, can we better protect the health and safety of mothers and babies.
