The Influence of Old Childbearing on Mother's Body
With the progress of society and the development of economy, more and more women are postponing childbearing. However, the elderly childbearing has a certain impact on the health of mothers. This article will elaborate on the influence of the elderly childbearing from the aspects of physiology, psychology, postpartum recovery and child rearing.
1、 Physiological aspects
Mothers who give birth at an advanced age tend to face a variety of physiological problems. First, the female reproductive system will undergo a series of changes with age. The decline in the number and quality of eggs has led to difficulties in pregnancy and increased abortion rates. Secondly, the older the pregnant women, the higher the incidence of pregnancy diseases, such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension, etc. In addition, older women also face a higher risk of fetal birth defects, such as Down syndrome, congenital heart disease, etc.
In addition, older women are more likely to have complications during pregnancy, such as abortion, premature delivery, placental abruption, etc. For women with poor physical conditions, these complications may threaten life safety. In addition, mothers who give birth at an advanced age often face greater risks during childbirth, such as dystocia, caesarean section, etc., which may cause harm to the mother's body.
2、 Psychological aspects
Older childbearing often brings psychological pressure, which has a certain impact on the mental health of mothers. First of all, with the growth of age, women's anxiety about fertility will gradually increase. Women may feel nervous, anxious and depressed due to difficulties in pregnancy and increased risk of miscarriage. Secondly, the elderly mothers may face the problem of their children's independence. When children grow up, they may need more time and energy to take care of their children, which may increase the psychological burden of mothers.
In addition, mothers who give birth at an advanced age will also face greater social and family pressure. Family members, friends and the society may have a negative impact on mothers and increase their psychological burden by judging and questioning the elderly childbearing.
3、 Puerperal recovery
After giving birth at an advanced age, the mother's postpartum recovery ability is relatively weak. The aging characteristics of the body make the postpartum recovery of the elderly puerpera slower. During recovery, they may face greater restrictions on diet and physical exercise, which will have a negative impact on their mothers' physical health and emotional state.
In addition, elderly mothers may also face difficulties in breastfeeding. Their mammary gland function is relatively poor, which leads to the unsmooth lactation process and requires more auxiliary measures and the assistance of midwives. This will have a certain impact on the healthy development of mother and baby.
4、 Child rearing
Mothers who give birth at an advanced age may encounter some difficulties in child rearing. Due to the age difference, they may lack the experience of growing up with their children and cannot establish a relatively equal relationship with their children. In addition, physical health and lack of energy may also affect mothers' attention and care ability for their children.
Although the elderly childbirth has a certain impact on the mother's body, it does not mean that all elderly mothers will face the above problems. Each woman's physiological and psychological conditions are different. As long as she is fully prepared, actively recuperates her physical and mental health, and receives the guidance and supervision of a doctor, the elderly puerpera can still safely pass through the pregnancy and childbirth process.
Summary:
The elderly childbearing has a certain impact on the mother's health, mainly from the physiological, psychological, postpartum recovery and child rearing and other aspects. Physiological aspects include changes in the reproductive system, complications and increased risk of delivery; Psychological aspects include anxiety, pressure and negative judgments; Postpartum recovery includes healing ability and lactation difficulty; Child rearing includes age difference and care ability. However, the situation of each woman is different. With good preparation and the guidance of doctors, the elderly women can still have a healthy and happy birth process.
