What are the risks to mothers of childbearing at the age of 35?

With the development of the times and social changes, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing until after the age of 35. However, giving birth at the age of 35 is not without risks for mothers. This article will elaborate on the risks and challenges that childbirth at the age of 35 may bring to mothers from four aspects: fertility, pregnancy health, postpartum rehabilitation and child rearing.

1. Fertility

With the growth of age, women's fertility gradually declines, and childbearing over the age of 35 will face more difficulties. First, the number and quality of female eggs gradually declined, increasing the risk of infertility. Secondly, after the age of 35, women are more likely to have fertility problems such as menstrual disorders and ovulation disorders, which further reduces the chance of pregnancy. In addition, women over 35 years old are also more likely to miscarry after pregnancy. Therefore, delaying childbearing until after the age of 35 may face greater fertility risks.

The risks of childbirth at the age of 35 to the mother and even the whole family are not only physiological, but also include the risks of pregnancy health.

2. Health during pregnancy

Compared with younger pregnant women, pregnant women over 35 are more likely to have some health problems during pregnancy. First of all, older pregnant women have a higher risk of gestational diabetes mellitus and gestational hypertension, which are harmful to both the mother and the fetus. Secondly, older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from physical and mental health problems such as osteoporosis and depression during pregnancy. In addition, the fetus is also prone to chromosome abnormalities, congenital heart disease and other problems. Therefore, mothers who give birth at the age of 35 need to pay more attention to their health during pregnancy and do a good job in prenatal examination to reduce risks.

In addition to health problems during pregnancy, 35 year old mothers also need to pay attention to postpartum rehabilitation.

3. Postpartum rehabilitation

Childbearing after the age of 35 will also bring some challenges to the mother's physical recovery. Compared with younger mothers, the recovery process of mothers over 35 years old may be slower because their physical functions have begun to decline. In addition, older women are prone to more serious delivery complications, such as postpartum hemorrhage and slow uterine involution. Therefore, mothers who give birth at the age of 35 need to pay more attention to postpartum rehabilitation, and reasonably arrange rest and recovery.

In addition to the physical challenges and risks, childbirth at the age of 35 also brings some problems for mothers in child rearing.

4. Child support

Mothers who give birth at the age of 35 may also face some special challenges in child rearing. First of all, older mothers may not be able to provide the same physical strength and energy as younger mothers, and cannot adapt to the needs of children's growth. Secondly, since the mothers who have given birth over 35 years old are older, the growth and education of children may need to follow up for a longer time, and also have higher requirements for the patience and energy of mothers.

To sum up, childbirth at the age of 35 presents certain risks and challenges to mothers. From the perspective of fertility, health during pregnancy, postpartum rehabilitation and child rearing, mothers who give birth after the age of 35 need to pay more attention to their own health, reasonably arrange the pregnancy plan, and make corresponding preparations and adjustments to reduce risks and ensure the health of themselves and their children.
