What is elder childbearing?
With the change of the times, people's views on childbearing age have gradually changed. In the past, over 20 years old was the best childbearing age, while over 30 years old was considered to be the oldest childbearing age. However, with the development of social economy and the enhancement of women's independent consciousness, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, and women in their 30s are also becoming more and more common. So, is a child born in her 30s old or not? Next, from the physiological, psychological, economic and social perspectives to analyze.
From the physiological point of view, whether children born in their 30s are old or not
From a physiological point of view, women's fertility will gradually decline after the age of 30. This is because the number and quality of female eggs will decrease with age. With the aging of eggs, the difficulty of pregnancy will increase, and the risk of miscarriage and chromosomal abnormalities will increase. In addition, women in their 30s also face a higher risk of pregnancy complications, such as hypertension and diabetes. Therefore, from a physiological point of view, there are certain risks in childbearing in the 30s, which can be considered as the oldest childbearing.
However, every woman's physical condition is different. Some women in their 30s still have good fertility, while some women in their 20s may not be able to conceive normally due to personal reasons. Therefore, it is still subjective to judge whether fertility in the 30s belongs to the elderly fertility only from the physiological point of view.
Whether a child born in her 30s is old from a psychological perspective
From a psychological point of view, women in their 30s may be more mature and stable, and more capable and responsible to care for and educate their children. Compared with young mothers in their 20s, they have more life experience and accumulated resources, and are more clear about their life goals and family planning. In addition, they also know how to balance work and family, and share family responsibilities with their partners.
However, women in their 30s may be more likely to feel the pressure of age. They may face voices and expectations from family, friends and society. At the same time, childbearing in their 30s also means that children may need to be taken care of and supported before they retire, which may bring greater burden to their lives. Therefore, from a psychological point of view, although childbirth in the 30s has some advantages, there is also some psychological pressure.
Whether children born in their 30s are old from an economic and social perspective
From an economic and social perspective, women in their 30s often have a better economic foundation and stable careers. Relatively speaking, they are more capable of providing better education and living conditions for their children. In addition, women in their 30s are also more stable in their recognition of family and social roles, and easier to obtain support from their families and society.
However, women in their 30s may face greater financial burden after childbirth. As children may need a long period of education and care, women may need to delay career development or choose to give up some opportunities to take care of children. At the same time, the society may have certain prejudices and doubts about women who give birth in their 30s, for example, whether they are competent for motherhood. Therefore, from an economic and social perspective, there are also challenges and pressures in childbearing in the 30s.
summary
To sum up, it is a controversial issue whether childbearing in the 30s is considered to be elder childbearing. From a physiological point of view, because of the decline of fertility and the increase of complications during pregnancy, childbearing in the 30s can be regarded as elderly childbearing. However, from a psychological point of view, women in their 30s are also capable of raising children due to their mature and stable characteristics. From the economic and social perspective, women in their 30s often have a better economic foundation and stable career, but also need to face higher economic burden and social pressure.
To sum up, whether childbearing in the 30s is considered as elder childbearing is a complex issue, which should be evaluated and judged by comprehensively considering individual differences, physiological, psychological, economic and social factors.
