Psychological pressure of elderly childbearing
With the social progress and the development of science and technology, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, while the elderly childbearing (referring to pregnancy at the age of 35 and above) has gradually become a common phenomenon. However, the elderly childbearing has also brought a series of psychological pressures and problems.
First of all, the psychological pressure faced by older mothers comes from physical changes and health problems. With the growth of women's age, the ovarian function gradually declines, and the success rate of pregnancy greatly decreases. This has brought great anxiety and anxiety to women who want to have children. At the same time, older mothers face a higher risk of complications during pregnancy, such as pregnancy hypertension, diabetes, which further increases their psychological pressure.
Secondly, the psychological pressure of elderly childbearing also comes from family and social expectations. In the traditional concept, women should give birth when they are young, and the older the age, the higher the fertility risk. Therefore, many families and society hold different degrees of skepticism and criticism towards elderly mothers. Such doubts and pressures often make elderly mothers feel inferior and anxious, and even have a negative impact on their family and marital relations.
In addition, giving birth at an advanced age will have an impact on women's career, which is also a psychological pressure. Women's efforts and pursuits in their careers may be interrupted and restricted by pregnancy and child rearing. For those women who have high career aspirations or have made certain achievements, choosing to give birth at an advanced age may make them feel uneasy and hesitant, and worry about the obstacles to their career development.
Coping with the Psychological Pressure and Difficulties of the Elderly Birth
Although there are psychological pressures and troubles in the elderly childbearing, we can deal with these problems in some positive ways.
First of all, family and society need to give more understanding and support to elderly mothers. This needs to educate families and society to understand the difficulties and risks faced by elderly mothers, and encourage them to view elderly childbearing from a positive perspective. At the same time, elderly mothers also need self acceptance and tolerance, and do not indulge in external questioning and criticism.
Secondly, seeking professional medical support is the key. Older mothers should have a comprehensive physical examination before pregnancy to assess their physical condition and fertility risks. Doctors can provide information and advice to help them make informed decisions. During pregnancy, it is also necessary to carry out prenatal examination and pregnancy screening regularly, so as to find and deal with any possible complications in a timely manner.
In addition, elderly mothers can try some psychological adjustment methods to relieve pressure. For example, attend prenatal courses and mother groups, and share experience and emotional support with other expectant mothers. Regular exercise, a healthy diet and good sleep habits can also help stabilize emotions and reduce anxiety.
