The Influence of Old Childbearing on Mother's Body
In modern society, with the improvement of women's education level and career pursuit, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, and the number of elderly childbearing (over 35 years old) also increases. However, the elderly childbearing will have a series of effects on the health of mothers.
First of all, the risk of complications during pregnancy will be increased by giving birth at an advanced age. For example, the incidence of gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, placental abruption and other problems will increase significantly. These complications will not only bring physical discomfort to pregnant women themselves, but also may have a negative impact on the health of the fetus.
Secondly, the elderly childbirth will have certain risks to the life and health of mothers. With the increase of age, women's reproductive system function gradually declines, ovarian function declines, ovulation rate decreases, and egg quality also decreases, which will increase the risk of infertility. At the same time, it is more common for elderly women to have prolonged labor and dystocia during childbirth due to decreased uterine muscle elasticity and blood pressure control function.
Finally, older childbearing also increases the risk of chromosomal abnormalities. According to statistical data, the probability of chromosomal abnormalities in pregnancy among women over 35 years of age has significantly increased, such as Down's syndrome and Edwards syndrome. These children with chromosomal abnormalities are usually accompanied by serious problems such as mental retardation, congenital heart disease and so on, which have brought a huge psychological and economic burden to children and families.
The influence of elder childbearing on fathers
Older childbearing not only affects mothers, but also brings some potential risks and challenges to fathers.
First of all, the correlation between elderly fathers and children with chromosomal abnormalities has gradually attracted attention. The study found that the children of older fathers suffer from chromosome abnormalities in a much higher proportion than young fathers. This is because the quality of sperm decreases with age, and the probability of chromosomal abnormalities will also increase, thus increasing the risk of malformations.
Secondly, older fathers may face increased psychological and physical pressure during the growth of their children. Due to the large age gap, older fathers may not be able to maintain enough energy to participate in various activities with their children as young fathers do. At the same time, facing the problems of children's education and cultivation, older fathers may also face some challenges, and need more patience and wisdom to deal with them.
In addition, giving birth at an advanced age also means that parents need to take longer responsibilities and support pressure before their children get married and start a business. Compared with young parents, older fathers are more likely to have aging physical functions and chronic diseases after their children become adults. This may have an impact on children's future planning and development.
The impact of elderly childbearing on families
Elderly childbearing also brings a series of impacts and challenges to families.
First of all, the elderly childbearing will bring some pressure to the family economy. With the growth of age, parents' working ability and income may be reduced, and the resources needed for children's education and upbringing will also be more. This means that families need to plan their finances more rationally to cope with future expenditure pressure.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing will also have a certain impact on the family's social relations. Older parents may be puzzled and questioned by relatives, friends and the public, and may suffer from all kinds of unnecessary pressure and trouble. Therefore, family members need to support and understand each other, maintain good communication, and jointly face various external challenges.
Finally, the elderly childbearing also has a certain impact on the family's future planning. Families need to make more wise choices in their children's education and life planning, pay more attention to their children's all-round development, and create better growth environment and conditions for them.
summary
There is no doubt that the elderly childbearing has had many impacts on the mother's body, father and family. For mothers, it increases the risk of complications during pregnancy, the risk of life and health, and the risk of chromosomal abnormalities. For fathers, it increases the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, and may face increased psychological and physical pressure, as well as increased long-term responsibility and upbringing pressure. For families, it has brought economic pressure and social relationship pressure, and it also needs to make more intelligent planning for the future. Therefore, when considering elderly childbearing, families need to fully understand these impacts and make comprehensive weighing and preparation before making decisions.
