Background of elder childbearing

With the development of society and the improvement of medical technology, more and more women choose late marriage and late childbearing, that is, elder childbearing. Elderly childbearing generally refers to the pregnancy and childbirth of women over 35 years old. This birth mode is very different from the traditional birth mode and has its unique characteristics.

Physiological characteristics

Female fertility began to decline after the age of 35, especially for women over 40 years old. Older childbearing may face more physiological problems, such as increased risk of genetic diseases, increased possibility of congenital malformations, etc. In addition, women over 35 years old are also more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications such as diabetes and pregnancy hypertension during pregnancy.

However, the progress of modern medicine makes it more feasible for older women to have children. Many hospitals have provided a series of assisted reproductive technologies, including IVF, artificial insemination, over rate surrogacy, etc., which help to improve the pregnancy success rate of elderly women.

psychological characteristics

Older women will face various psychological pressures when they choose to give birth at an older age. In traditional values, it is taken for granted that women should complete their childbearing at an early age, so delaying childbearing may be blamed by society. Women themselves will also have various concerns, such as whether they can successfully conceive, give birth to a healthy baby, and take care of the baby.

In order to alleviate the psychological pressure of elderly women, some hospitals will provide psychological counseling services to help women eliminate anxiety and anxiety and improve their psychological quality. In addition, support with family and friends is also crucial to women's mental health.

Social characteristics

The continuous improvement of welfare policy makes it possible for elderly women to have children. In order to encourage women to have more children and improve the quality of the population, some countries and regions have introduced corresponding social security policies. For example, additional maternity and nursing leave, maternity allowance and child care allowance are provided. The implementation of these policies will help older women to successfully conceive and raise children.

However, the elderly childbearing also brings some challenges to the society. For example, when the children of elderly women enter the adolescence stage, their parents have already entered the old age, and their physical conditions may not be conducive to the growth of children. At the same time, the demand for social medical resources for elderly childbearing also puts forward higher requirements, and medical institutions need to provide better services and support.

summary

The elderly birth is a birth mode that is very different from the traditional birth mode. It has unique physical, psychological and social characteristics. Although the elderly childbearing faces some physiological risks and psychological pressure, the development of modern medical technology and social policies has provided more possibilities and support for the elderly women's childbearing. However, the society still needs to further adapt to the needs of elderly childbearing and provide corresponding medical and social security services.
