Is it suitable for elderly women to have three children?

In modern society, more and more women choose to postpone pregnancy and greet their first child after the age of 35. However, is it suitable for a 35 year old woman to have three children? This is a controversial issue. This article will discuss this problem from four aspects: physiology, psychology, economy and society.

Physiological risk

At the age of 35, female fertility begins to decline, and the quality and quantity of female eggs will gradually decrease. This means that pregnancy will be more difficult and may take longer to conceive successfully. In addition, the risk of pregnancy complications of elderly pregnant women will also increase. For example, the incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension, pregnancy induced diabetes and placental dysfunction is high. In addition, pregnant women over 35 years old are more likely to have chromosomal abnormalities, leading to an increased risk of fetal birth defects.

In addition, the arrival of menopause will also have a certain impact on women's health. During menopause, women's ovarian function begins to decline, which will cause a series of symptoms, such as irregular menstruation, hot flashes and mood fluctuations. Therefore, postponement of childbearing may occur at the same time as menopause, bringing additional burdens to women's bodies.

Psychological pressure

It is an arduous task to take care of one child, and taking care of three children at the same time will undoubtedly bring greater psychological pressure to women. Older mothers may feel more anxious when facing their children's growth. They may worry about whether their age can keep up with their children's needs, and whether they have enough physical strength and energy to take care of the growth of the three children. In addition, women also need to face social questions and comments about their older childbearing, which may also increase their psychological pressure.

Economic considerations

Raising children requires a lot of economic costs, usually including food, housing, education and medical care. For 35 year old women, if they want to have three children, they need to consider the affordability of the family economy. At the same time of career development, more money and time are needed to meet the growth needs of children. If the family's financial resources are limited, it will bring economic pressure to women and the whole family.

Social concepts and support

In some societies, especially in areas with strong traditional ideas, women over 35 who have three children may be criticized and questioned by others. This kind of social pressure may bring troubles to women, making them feel that their choices are questioned. In addition, giving birth to three children requires family and social support, including spouse, family, friends and social welfare system. If women lack the necessary support, it will increase the difficulties and pressure they face.

summary

Based on the above considerations, it can be concluded that there are certain risks and difficulties for older women to have three children. Physiologically, older pregnant women face higher risks of pregnancy complications and fetal birth defects. Psychologically, caring for three children may bring greater pressure to women. Economically, we need to consider the affordability of the family economy. In society, we are faced with the dilemma of traditional ideas and lack of support. Therefore, for a 35 year old woman, it is necessary to carefully weigh all factors and seek the advice and support of professional doctors when it is appropriate to have three children.
