How to cope with the psychological pressure of elderly childbearing
In modern society, with the pursuit of career and personal achievements, more and more women choose to marry late and have children late. However, in the process of giving birth at an advanced age, the accompanying psychological pressure is also increasingly prominent. This article will elaborate from four aspects: physical pressure, social pressure, marriage pressure and personal pressure, and propose effective methods to deal with the psychological pressure of elderly childbearing.
1、 Physical stress
One of the main psychological pressures of elderly women's childbirth comes from physical discomfort and reproductive risks. With the growth of age, women's reproductive system functions decline significantly, and there is a higher risk of miscarriage, malformation and other complications. In addition, pregnancy discomfort, fetal health, etc. will also bring great psychological burden to women.
In order to relieve physical pressure, older expectant mothers should actively do a good job in prenatal health care. Regular physical examination, reasonable diet, proper exercise and psychological counseling can help expectant mothers reduce their physical burden and increase the probability of successful pregnancy and delivery. In addition, regular hospitals can be selected for childbearing. Among them, first-class medical institutions such as Beijing Union Medical College Hospital and Shanghai Long March Hospital have rich experience and professional teams in elderly childbearing, which can provide all-round care and security.
In addition, it can also reduce psychological pressure to fully communicate with your partner, face together, and confide in your anxiety and worries.
2、 Social pressure
Elderly childbearing often causes concern and discussion in society, and brings social pressure. The comments and misunderstandings of family members, relatives, friends and even strangers will make expectant mothers feel that they are placed in the focus of public opinion, increasing their anxiety and pressure.
In the face of social pressure, expectant mothers should remain confident and firm, and understand that these concerns and doubts are due to their concern for themselves and their baby. Share your thoughts and feelings with your close family and friends to gain their support and understanding. In addition, we can find some communication platforms and communities for elderly mothers to communicate with people with similar experiences, support each other, and spend this special time together.
3、 Marital pressure
Older childbearing is often closely related to marital problems. On the one hand, considering women's childbearing period, older expectant mothers often face the problem of choosing marriage and childbirth; On the other hand, the difficulties of childbearing after marriage may also bring some pressure to the relationship between husband and wife. For couples who plan to have children at an advanced age, it is very important to choose a partner who understands and supports each other.
Both husband and wife should maintain good communication and coordination, and jointly formulate plans and goals. In the face of difficulties and pressures, encourage and support each other to find solutions together. If necessary, you can choose the help of a counselor to deal with the problems in the marriage.
4、 Personal pressure
The decision to give birth at an advanced age often involves personal life and career planning. Therefore, personal pressure is also an important aspect that expectant mothers need to deal with. Excessive attention to age and fertility issues will cause emotional distress and anxiety that will affect work and daily life.
In order to reduce personal pressure, expectant mothers can take some methods to relax and adjust their mentality, such as regular work and rest, participating in yoga or meditation, and cultivating their own hobbies. At the same time, we should treat the results of the elderly childbearing correctly and maintain a rational and positive attitude. No matter what the birth outcome is, you should believe that you have made the right decision and strive to enjoy every important stage of your life.
Summary
The psychological pressure brought by the elderly childbirth mainly comes from the physical, social, marriage and personal aspects. To cope with these pressures, expectant mothers need to actively maintain their bodies and choose appropriate medical institutions; Keep self-confidence and seek support in the face of social good advice and comments; Face the difficulties in marriage with your partner; Reduce personal pressure by relaxing and adjusting your mind. Only by doing a good job in these aspects can we better face and cope with the psychological challenges brought about by the elderly childbearing.
