Is childbirth under 35 an advanced age?

In recent years, obstetric clinics in many hospitals found that more and more young couples chose to postpone childbearing and began to focus on career development. Therefore, more and more young people under the age of 35 are seeking to have children. However, it is still controversial whether children under the age of 35 should be classified as elderly children. This article will discuss whether childbirth under the age of 35 belongs to the advanced age from the aspects of physique, risks of pregnancy and childbirth, methods of pregnancy assistance and psychological state.

1、 Constitutional factor

First of all, let's see whether childbirth under the age of 35 is a physical factor of advanced age. According to the conventional definition of the medical profession, over 35 years of age is the starting point for elderly childbearing. However, with the social progress and improvement of medical conditions, modern young people are in relatively good health. Recent studies have shown that women under 35 years old have a high degree of physical superiority and good health. Therefore, compared with women over 35 years old, women under 35 years old who give birth do not have obvious physical disadvantages. In addition, the progress of medical technology provides a more scientific and convenient way for women to maintain healthy physique in the age group below 35.

However, even though young women have better physique than older women, there are still some physiological changes that cannot be ignored. For example, after the age of 30, women's ovarian function gradually weakens and the quality of eggs declines, which may lead to difficulties in pregnancy and increased risk of miscarriage. This has also become an important factor in assessing whether childbirth under the age of 35 is an advanced age.

From the perspective of physical factors, the birth of children under 35 years old is not entirely old, but some adverse factors to fertility cannot be ignored.

2、 Maternity risk

In addition to physical factors, the risk of pregnancy and childbirth is also one of the important criteria for judging whether childbirth under the age of 35 is an advanced age.

In fact, the risk of female fertility increases with age. Generally speaking, women under 35 years of age have relatively low fertility risk, less pregnancy complications and fetal abnormalities. In contrast, women over 35 are at higher risk. For example, the risk of miscarriage, premature delivery, postpartum hemorrhage and so on will increase with age. Therefore, from the perspective of pregnancy and childbirth risks, childbirth under 35 years old does not belong to the elderly.

3、 Methods of assisting pregnancy

Nowadays, with the progress of medical assisted pregnancy technology, more and more young couples choose to use assisted pregnancy to achieve their fertility aspirations.

For young people under 35 years old, the application of assisted pregnancy is not common, because they are relatively more likely to conceive. However, the reason why some young couples choose to help them with pregnancy may not be entirely due to fertility difficulties, but due to other reasons, such as planned birth control. Therefore, when young people under 35 choose assisted pregnancy, they cannot simply be classified as elderly childbearing.

4、 Mental state

*After that, we should consider whether childbirth under 35 years old is a psychological state of advanced age. Compared with women over 35 years old, young people are psychologically easier to adapt to changes in marriage and childbirth, and have a more positive attitude and better social support. This will help alleviate some of the adverse effects of childbirth under 35 years of age, so as to better cope with the challenges of childbirth.

summary

To sum up, there is no clear answer whether the childbearing under 35 years old is of advanced age. From the perspective of physical factors, women under 35 years old have advantages over women over 35 years old, but there is still a phenomenon that the ovarian function gradually weakens; From the perspective of pregnancy and childbirth risk, the risk of young people under 35 years old is relatively low; The application of assisted pregnancy method in young people under 35 years old is not common, and they cannot be simply classified as elderly childbearing; In terms of psychological status, young people under 35 are more likely to adapt to changes in marriage and childbirth, and have a positive attitude and better social support.

To sum up, we cannot simply classify childbearing under 35 years old as elderly childbearing. Even so, young people should be cautious when considering childbirth, fully understand their own physiological conditions, and actively communicate with doctors to ensure safe and healthy pregnancy and childbirth.
