Predicament and problems of elderly childbearing
With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing and pursue career and personal development. However, the elderly childbearing has also brought various difficulties and problems. This article will elaborate from four aspects: medical risks, inadequate maternity services, economic pressure and family education problems.
Medical risks
With the growth of age, female fertility gradually decreases, and the possibility of suffering from infertility also increases. Older pregnant women are more likely to have pregnancy complications, such as hypertension, diabetes, eclampsia, fetal development abnormalities, etc. At the same time, the fetus also faces higher risks at birth, such as premature delivery, low birth weight, etc. These medical risks have brought great challenges to the health of mothers and infants.
In addition, older pregnant women often need more prenatal examinations and pregnancy monitoring, and the medical expenses also increase accordingly. In addition, the incidence of some diseases such as genetic diseases in elderly pregnant women will also increase, which brings additional risks to the health of the fetus and the time and money costs of outpatient services.
In order to solve this dilemma, we can reduce the related health risks of pregnant and lying in women by improving the level of public medical services and promoting the progress of medical science and technology. At the same time, we will establish a comprehensive health record system, provide personalized medical and pregnancy monitoring services, and carry out targeted prenatal examination and consultation to reduce medical costs and improve the quality of life of pregnant women.
Insufficient maternity services
With the increase of the number of elderly children, the demand for maternity services has become increasingly prominent. However, at present, many hospitals are insufficient in pregnancy and obstetrics experts, equipment and beds. Pregnant women need to queue up for antenatal care, and sometimes even need to seek better medical resources in other cities. This situation has seriously affected the medical experience and medical effect of elderly pregnant women.
In order to solve the problem of insufficient maternity services, we can increase investment in medical education of pregnancy and obstetrics, and cultivate more professionals. At the same time, we will build more maternity medical institutions and provide better medical equipment to meet the needs of elderly pregnant women. In addition, Internet technology and mobile medical applications can be used to provide online consultation, telemedicine and other services to provide more convenient and efficient medical services for pregnant women.
Economic pressure
The economic pressure brought by the elderly birth is a problem that cannot be ignored. The traditional calculation of maintenance costs is often based on the situation of younger children, while older children may face more economic needs in the long-term education and growth process. In addition, on the one hand, we need to bear higher medical expenses, on the other hand, we need to consider our long-term career and income losses.
In order to reduce the economic pressure of elderly childbearing, we can help elderly parents by providing government subsidies, maternity leave system and childcare allowance. In addition, education and publicity can be strengthened to encourage young couples to plan their families at an early stage, so as to reduce the economic pressure brought about by older childbearing.
Family education
Another problem of elder childbearing is family education. The children of elderly parents often face a large intergenerational gap and differences in educational concepts. In addition, elderly parents may be in poor physical condition, unable to provide adequate care and companionship.
In order to solve the problem of family education, older parents can actively participate in child care training classes and family education lectures to improve their knowledge and ability of child care. In addition, we can give more support and help to elderly parents, such as increasing domestic services, providing free nurseries and other initiatives.
Summary
The difficulties and problems of elderly childbearing mainly include medical risks, inadequate maternity services, economic pressure and family education. To solve these problems, we can improve the level of medical services, increase investment in medical education in pregnancy and obstetrics, provide financial support and family education and training. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen education and publicity, encourage young couples to plan their childbearing early, so as to alleviate the difficulties and problems caused by the elderly childbearing.
