The dividing line between maternal age and advanced age

The age of the parturient is one of the important factors that affect the process of pregnancy and childbirth. In the past, women under 35 years of age were considered as "young" pregnant women, not older women. However, with the development of the times and the change of people's childbearing age, the age assessment of puerpera has also been adjusted. Therefore, we need to re-examine whether women under 35 years old belong to the category of elderly women.

Physical and psychological changes

The growth of age will have a noticeable impact on women's physiological and psychological changes. Women under 35 years of age may not have reached full physical and mental maturity, which may lead to some problems during pregnancy and childbirth. For example, women under 35 years of age may be more prone to complications such as placental abruption, hypertension during pregnancy, and fetal malformation. In addition, young mothers face new challenges in childcare, and their psychological preparation and coping ability for childcare may be relatively low.

Therefore, although the women under 35 years old do not meet the criteria for elderly women in general knowledge, they still need special attention and care in view of the physiological and psychological changes they may face.

Hospital's attention to women under 35

In reality, in some hospitals' maternal health care guidelines, mothers under 35 years of age may be specifically mentioned, so that medical staff and pregnant women can better understand and deal with potential risks. For example, the pregnant women's health care guide of a certain hospital clearly pointed out that more frequent and comprehensive prenatal examinations, as well as more intensive pregnancy education and rehabilitation guidance, were needed for women under 35 years of age.

This practice shows that the hospital attaches great importance to women under 35 years of age, and to some extent proves their particularity in medical treatment. Although not all hospitals will treat women under 35 in this way, this trend of attention deserves our general recognition of the characteristics of women under 35 years of age.

Synthesis and summary

Although there is no clear age limit to divide the puerpera into the elderly and non elderly, with the increase of age, the physiological and psychological changes faced by the puerpera and the special attention of the hospital to the puerpera under 35 years old make us re-examine the classification of the puerpera under 35 years old. Although they can not be fully classified as elderly women, they can not be simply considered as no different from other young women.

Therefore, medical staff should give special attention and care to the mothers under 35 years old, provide more comprehensive physical examination and consultation services, and escort their pregnancy and childbirth. At the same time, young pregnant women should also enhance their health awareness and conduct a more comprehensive and prepared pregnancy process to cope with some possible physiological and psychological changes.

To sum up, although women under 35 years old do not fully meet the traditional definition of elderly women, based on physiological and psychological changes and hospital concerns, we can believe that women under 35 years old can be regarded as elderly women to some extent and need extra attention and care.
