Can women over 35 have children?

With the improvement of women's social status and the change of fertility concept, more and more women choose to give birth at the age of 35 or later. However, many people worry about whether women over 35 are fertile and able to have healthy children. This article will elaborate from four aspects: physiological angle, medical technology, maternal health care and psychological factors.

Physiological angle

With the growth of age, the number and quality of female eggs will gradually decline. According to medical research, after the age of 35, women's egg quality began to decline significantly. In addition, women's physical functions will gradually decline, such as uterine contractility and placental function. These physiological changes make it relatively difficult for women over 35 years old to conceive, and also increase the risk of pregnancy complications.

However, although there are certain physiological restrictions, it does not mean that women over 35 years old are completely sterile. In fact, many women at this age can still successfully conceive and deliver. The key is to maintain good living habits, eat a balanced diet, exercise moderately, arrange life pressure reasonably, and improve physical fitness and immunity.

In addition, some women over the age of 35 may need assisted reproductive technology to achieve pregnancy, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and ovarian freezing. These techniques can help women over the age of 35 increase the success rate of pregnancy and reduce the risk of chromosomal abnormalities and other genetic diseases.

Medical technology

The development of modern medical technology provides more choices and hopes for women over 35 years old to become pregnant. For example, early pregnancy screening can assess the health status of the fetus through blood and ultrasound examination, and detect possible problems as early as possible. In addition, gene detection technologies such as non-invasive prenatal gene detection (NIPT) can detect the risk of chromosome abnormalities and genetic diseases, and provide more accurate information for pregnant women over 35 years old.

For pregnant women over 35 years old, the importance of prenatal examination and obstetric care is more prominent. Regular prenatal examination and pregnancy health care can detect and control potential pregnancy complications as soon as possible, and improve the health status of pregnant women and fetuses.

In addition, women over 35 years old may face some special circumstances during childbirth, such as premature delivery, placental dysfunction, etc. Therefore, when choosing an obstetric hospital, it is recommended to choose a hospital with rich experience and advanced equipment, such as the obstetric center of a hospital, which has advanced delivery room equipment and professional team, and can provide comprehensive prenatal and postnatal care services.

Maternity care

Women over 35 years old need to pay special attention to maternity care during pregnancy. First, conduct a comprehensive physical examination to assess the health status of individuals. According to the results of physical examination, doctors can make appropriate birth plans for their personal conditions and monitor the growth and development of the fetus.

Second, maintain a healthy lifestyle. Reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, regular exercise, avoid overwork, reduce bad habits such as smoking and drinking.

In addition, mental health is also an important aspect of maternity care. Women over 35 years old may face greater pressure and anxiety, and they need to pay attention to and deal with these emotions in a timely manner. You can reduce pressure and maintain a good attitude by attending prenatal training classes, communicating with others and seeking psychological counseling.

Summary

To sum up, although women over 35 years old have certain physiological restrictions, they are still likely to successfully conceive and give birth to healthy children through reasonable living habits and medical technology support. However, in order to ensure the health of themselves and the fetus, women over 35 years of age should actively pay attention to maternal health care, select experienced hospitals and professional teams to monitor and care during pregnancy and childbirth.
