The reasons for the elderly childbearing
With the development of society, more and more women delay childbearing when they are unmarried or after marriage, which leads to the phenomenon of elder childbearing. Elderly childbearing mainly refers to women's pregnancy and childbirth in the age range of 35 years and above. The reasons for the elderly childbearing can be analyzed from the following aspects.
First of all, modern women pay more and more attention to career and education, and generally postpone childbearing. With the improvement of education level, women are more willing to make certain achievements in their careers, which leads to the phenomenon of delayed childbearing. In addition, economic pressure is also one of the important factors for women to delay childbearing. With the improvement of social consumption, the cost of raising a child has also increased significantly. Many couples need more time to prepare for the economic foundation, so they choose to postpone childbearing.
Secondly, advances in medical technology have also made it possible for the elderly to have children. With the continuous development of assisted reproductive technology, including the application of IVF and other technologies, older women can also more easily achieve their reproductive aspirations, which makes the proportion of elderly childbearing increasing year by year.
In addition, people's ideas are also gradually changing, and they have a more positive attitude towards elder childbearing. Previously, it was believed that childbirth after a certain age would bring risks, but now, with the improvement of medical technology, people begin to believe that it is also feasible to give birth at an advanced age, so some women choose to postpone childbirth.
The harm of old childbearing
Older childbearing has brought some hazards and risks, first of all, the increase of complications during pregnancy. With the growth of age, women's physical functions will gradually decline, and pregnancy is prone to hypertension, diabetes and other complications, which bring potential risks to both mothers and fetuses.
Secondly, older mothers are prone to increase the risk of fetal birth defects. Research shows that it is common for the children born to elderly mothers to suffer from chromosome abnormalities, Down's syndrome and other transfusion, which will have a significant impact on the health of the children.
Finally, the elderly childbearing also poses a threat to the mother's health. During childbirth, mothers may face greater difficulties, such as dystocia, which will cause additional pressure on their health and increase the risk of surgery.
terms of settlement
In view of the problems caused by the elderly childbearing, we can solve them from the following aspects.
First, education and publicity should be more in-depth. We should strengthen education and publicity on the risks and hazards of delayed childbearing, and improve people's awareness of the elderly childbearing. Through the media, schools and other channels to disseminate relevant knowledge, so that women can understand the dangers of childbirth at an advanced age and improve their fertility awareness.
Secondly, medical institutions should provide relevant services and support. The hospital should be equipped with a professional team to provide a comprehensive health assessment and consultation for elderly mothers, provide personalized treatment plans, bring them better medical services, and reduce fertility risks.
In addition, the research and application of assisted reproductive technology should be strengthened. We will continue to improve and perfect technologies such as IVF, improve the success rate, reduce risks, and strengthen the popularization and promotion of technologies.
Summary
The elderly childbearing is the product of late marriage and late childbearing in modern society, which is mainly attributed to the pressure of women's career and education, economic pressure and people's concept changes. However, there are also a series of hazards in the elderly childbearing, such as increased complications during pregnancy, increased risk of fetal birth defects and threats to maternal health. To solve this problem, we need to strengthen education and publicity, provide relevant services and support, and increase the research and application of assisted reproductive technology. Through the implementation of comprehensive measures, we can effectively reduce the risks of elderly childbearing and ensure the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
