Tips for giving birth at an advanced age
With the development of society and the constant change of people's family planning, more and more women choose to conceive and give birth at an advanced age. However, the elderly childbearing faces many risks and challenges. In order to ensure the health of mothers and babies, it is necessary to master some techniques for giving birth at an advanced age. The following is a detailed description from four aspects: clinical guidance, diet conditioning, eugenics and psychological care.
1、 Clinical guidance
1. Health examination: Before planned pregnancy, women should receive a series of health examinations, including comprehensive physical examination, blood examination and gynecological examination, to assess their physical condition and eliminate potential disease risks.
2. Regular prenatal examination: once pregnant, regular prenatal examination is particularly important. Older pregnant women are often prone to pregnancy complications and fetal abnormalities. Timely prenatal examination can help identify problems early and take appropriate treatment measures.
3. Rational drug use: During pregnancy, try to avoid the use of drugs, especially those potentially harmful to the fetus. If drugs are needed, they must be used under the guidance of the doctor, and the use method and dosage must be strictly observed.
4. Select an appropriate hospital: select a hospital with good reputation, advanced equipment and rich professional experience to give birth to the elderly, so as to get more comprehensive medical services and professional guidance.
2、 Diet conditioning
1. Balanced diet: The elderly pregnant women should ensure that they eat balanced nutrition, and reasonably match carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals to meet the needs of the mother and fetus.
2. Folic acid supplementation: Folic acid is an essential nutrient for the development of the fetal nervous system. Older pregnant women should take folic acid supplementation before and during pregnancy to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus.
3. Weight control: The elderly pregnant women need to control their weight growth to avoid obesity or low weight, so as to reduce the risk of related complications and improve the quality of life during pregnancy.
4. Strengthen the intake of fruits and vegetables: fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which can promote the health of mothers and infants. Older pregnant women should take enough fruits and vegetables every day.
3、 Eugenics
1. Choose the right time: Older pregnant women should choose the right time for pregnancy, and they are in a relatively stable stage in terms of physical condition and emotion.
2. Accepting assisted reproductive technology: if it is difficult to conceive naturally, you can consider accepting assisted reproductive technology, such as test tube baby, artificial insemination, etc., to improve the chance of pregnancy.
3. Genetic counseling: Older pregnant women have higher prenatal genetic risk, so they should accept genetic counseling, understand the risk of family genetic diseases, and carry out genetic testing as needed.
4. Pay attention to the health of embryos: The elderly pregnant women who are carrying out IVF can choose to carry out embryo chromosome screening or gene testing to ensure the health of embryos and avoid embryo transfer with abnormal chromosomes.
4、 Psychological nursing
1. Receive psychological counseling: In the process of giving birth to the elderly, they should receive psychological counseling, deal with the relationship with relatives, friends and society, and alleviate anxiety and pressure.
2. Positively face problems: whether facing the risk of pregnancy or the challenge of difficult pregnancy, older pregnant women should actively face problems, seek professional help, and maintain a good attitude and mood.
3. Establish a support network: establish a support network with prospective parents of the same age or people who already have children to share their experiences and emotions, which can reduce fear and loneliness.
4. Pay attention to the quality of life: In addition to pregnancy and childbirth, older pregnant women should also pay attention to their own quality of life, actively participate in recreational activities, exercise, maintain social and cultural life, and maintain physical and mental health.
Through clinical guidance, diet conditioning, eugenics and psychological care and other skills, the risks and difficulties of elderly childbearing can be alleviated to a certain extent, providing better protection for the health of mothers and infants.
