What is an elderly puerpera
The elderly puerpera refers to women who are 35 years old or older and are pregnant or giving birth. With the development of modern society, late marriage and late childbearing have gradually become a trend, and more and more women choose to postpone childbearing. However, with the growth of age, women's reproductive capacity will gradually decrease, and the risk of various pregnancy problems will also increase. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive assessment based on the views of medical experts whether to classify the 29 year old childbirth as an elderly woman.
View of medical experts
According to the consensus of the international medical community at present, the definition of the elderly puerpera is 35 years old and above. However, some medical experts believe that women's reproductive capacity will gradually decline after the age of 30, so women aged 30 and above are also classified as elderly mothers. However, some medical experts believe that the decline in female fertility does not occur suddenly at the age of 30, but gradually. Therefore, they believe that it is reasonable to include the 29 year old child-bearing women in the category of elderly mothers.
As far as China is concerned, some hospitals limit the age of elderly mothers to over 30 years old, while others limit the age to over 35 years old. Therefore, in different hospitals, there may be different answers to the question of whether a child born at the age of 29 is classified as an elderly woman.
Risks and precautions of childbearing at the age of 29
For most women, childbirth at the age of 29 does not belong to elderly mothers. At this age, women's fertility should be in a relatively healthy state. However, the following risks and precautions should also be noted:
First of all, at the age of 29, women may have some chronic diseases or weak decline in body function, which may have some impact on pregnancy and childbirth. Therefore, it is recommended that 29 year old pregnant women should have a comprehensive physical examination before preparing for pregnancy, so as to minimize the diseases incompatible with pregnancy.
Secondly, special attention should be paid to the health care during pregnancy of 29 year olds. Older women will encounter some physiological discomfort and risks during pregnancy, such as fetal malformation, gestational diabetes, etc. Therefore, prenatal examination should be carried out regularly during pregnancy, and reasonable diet and exercise should be carried out according to the doctor's advice.
*Later, the 29 year old child-bearing person also needs to be psychologically prepared during childbirth. Older mothers may face problems such as higher difficulty in delivery and longer recovery time. Therefore, it is suggested that 29 year olds who give birth can learn some prenatal knowledge in advance to understand the process of delivery and precautions.
Summary
According to the views of medical experts and the definition of domestic hospitals, there is some controversy about including the 29 year old maternity into the category of elderly mothers. Although giving birth at the age of 29 is not considered as an elderly woman, women in this age group also need to pay attention to reproductive risks and precautions. Therefore, it is recommended that 29 year old pregnant women should have a comprehensive physical examination before preparing for pregnancy, pay attention to health care during pregnancy, and make psychological preparations for delivery.
