What is the risk of a 35 year old woman having a child?

With the improvement of women's social status and the change of their family consciousness, more and more women choose to have children after their careers become stable. However, the risk of 35 year old women having children is age related, which deserves our attention. This article will elaborate on the risks of 35 year old women having children from many aspects.

1. Decreased fertility

With the growth of women's age, the ovarian function begins to decline, and the number and quality of eggs will gradually decrease. This means that 35 year old women will have a relatively low chance of pregnancy, and the duration of pregnancy will be prolonged. According to the study, 35 year old women have only 20% chance of getting pregnant every month, while 25 year old women have 30% chance. In addition, 35 year old women are prone to abnormal ovulation and irregular menstruation, further increasing the difficulty of pregnancy.

The egg quality of 35 year old women will also decline, which is prone to chromosomal abnormalities. According to statistics, among women aged 35, the risk of children suffering from Down syndrome is 1/300, while among women aged 25, it is 1/1000. This is due to the aging of eggs, which increases the health risks of pregnant women and fetuses.

In addition, the first child born to a 35 year old woman may also be low in weight and height. The study found that the older the mother, the lower the birth weight and height of the child, and the higher the BMI.

2. Increased pregnancy complications

During pregnancy, 35 year old women often have an increased risk of complications such as hypertension, diabetes and anemia during pregnancy. This is because the uterine blood supply is reduced and the ovarian function is reduced, which leads to abnormal hormone levels in pregnant women, and easily leads to a series of pregnancy complications.

In addition, pregnant women over 35 years old are also prone to serious complications such as pre eclampsia and oligohydramnios, which increase the risk. This may lead to health problems of pregnant women, and even threaten the life safety of the fetus.

Moreover, 35 year old women are more likely to need a caesarean section when giving birth. Due to the reduction of uterine muscle tension, dystocia is easy to occur. Pregnant women must complete delivery by caesarean section, which increases the risk of surgery and recovery time.

3. Increased risk to children's health

Children born to 35 year old women face more health risks. Research shows that mothers and children over 35 years old have relatively low intelligence, academic performance, behavior and psychological development. This may be due to the interaction between gene abnormalities and environmental factors caused by egg aging.

In addition, mothers over 35 years old are prone to give birth to premature infants and low birth weight infants. These children may need more medical treatment and care after birth, and the risk of suffering from various diseases is relatively high.

Children of 35 year old women also have an increased risk of genetic diseases, known as "paternal mutation". This is because the increase of male age increases the possibility of gene mutation in sperm, thus increasing the risk of children suffering from genetic diseases.

4. Mental health pressure increases

The pressure faced by 35 year old women is not only reflected in physical health and fetal health, but also includes psychological health pressure. Many 35 year old women, on the one hand, have to find a balance between family and work, and on the other hand, have to cope with a series of changes and challenges in pregnancy and post natal period.

Age increase may also cause 35 year old women to have anxiety and pressure on themselves. They may worry about whether their ability and energy are enough to cope with the responsibilities and challenges of childcare, and even worry about the problems their children face in the process of growing up.

In addition, 35 year old women may face regret and self blame for early childbirth under the pressure of social attitudes and relatives and friends. These psychological factors are also a test for the mental health of 35 year old women.

Summary

The risks of 35 year old women having children include decreased fertility, increased pregnancy complications, increased child health risks and increased mental health pressure. With the growth of age, women need to face more physical and psychological challenges. However, every woman has her own life choices and schedules. I hope this article can provide some reference and guidance for women who choose to have children.
