Which groups are suitable for elder childbearing?
With the progress of modern medical technology and the change of social concepts, more and more couples choose to give birth at an advanced age. However, not all people are suitable for giving birth at an advanced age. Next, we will elaborate on which groups are suitable for elder childbearing from the perspective of age, physical condition, economic ability and family support.
Age
Age is the primary consideration for giving birth at an advanced age. Generally speaking, women's fertility will gradually decline with age. However, for some women, it is still feasible to give birth at an advanced age. Generally speaking, women under 35 years old still have great fertility potential and can choose to give birth at an advanced age. However, for women over 35 years old, especially women over 40 years old, due to the decline of egg quality, weakened reproductive system function and other reasons, it is recommended to carry out related examinations for elderly childbearing under the guidance of professional doctors.
Doctor Liu from Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University said that in their daily practice, they found that most women over 40 years old would first carry out a series of reproductive health checks before giving birth at an advanced age, to ensure that they were competent for the risk of giving birth at an advanced age.
In addition to the age of women, the age of the man is also a factor to consider when giving birth at an advanced age. Male fertility is generally strong before the age of 50, but with the growth of age, the quality and quantity of sperm will decline, which may have a certain impact on the elderly fertility.
Physical condition
In addition to the age factor, the individual's physical condition is also an important consideration for the elderly childbearing. After all, the burden of elderly childbearing on the body will be greater, so before deciding to carry out elderly childbearing, it is necessary to carry out a series of physical examinations to ensure that their physical health can be competent for the risk of elderly childbearing.
As Dr. Hu, an obstetrician and gynaecologist in a hospital, said, "For women who give birth at an advanced age, it is best to have a comprehensive physical examination before pregnancy, including the functional evaluation of the heart, lungs, kidneys and other organs, as well as the screening of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension." Only if they are in good health, Only in this way can we better deal with the various risks that may be brought about by the elderly childbearing.
Economic capacity
Compared with the general birth mode, the elderly birth needs more economic support. This includes not only medical expenses for pregnancy and childbirth, but also daily nursing expenses, nutrition expenses, etc. In addition, if the artificial reproduction technology is needed to achieve elderly childbearing, additional economic investment is also needed. Therefore, people with certain economic strength are more suitable for elderly childbearing.
Doctor Hu suggested: "When considering the elderly childbearing, couples need to conduct a comprehensive assessment of their own economic capacity to see whether they are able to bear the relevant costs. In addition, we should not only consider the costs of childbirth, but also consider the economic support in the process of child growth." After comprehensive consideration of various factors, Couples can more clearly judge whether they are suitable for elder childbearing.
Family support
In addition to age, physical condition and economic capacity, family support is also an important consideration for elderly childbearing. In the process of elderly childbearing, pregnant women may face more physical discomfort and mental pressure, so it is very important to have a stable family relationship and good family support.
For example, Ms. Meng has worked in Children's Hospital for more than ten years, and she is very successful in her career. However, she did not plan to have a baby because she and her husband did not have much time to accompany their children. She is cautious about giving birth at an advanced age and worried about her loneliness. Therefore, in addition to the good relationship between the couple, it is also necessary to consider the support and help of family members, relatives and friends.
summary
Which groups are suitable for elder childbearing? On the whole, the population suitable for elderly childbearing includes women under 35 years old, couples with good physical conditions, couples with certain economic strength, and couples with stable family support. However, before deciding to give birth at an advanced age, it is still necessary to carry out relevant examinations under the guidance of professional doctors to ensure that they are competent for the risk of giving birth at an advanced age, so as to provide a healthy future for themselves and the upcoming baby.
