Is giving birth at 35 an old age?

With the postponement of women's childbearing age and the change of family planning, more and more women choose to start childbearing around the age of 35. However, many people dispute whether childbirth at the age of 35 is regarded as advanced age. This article will elaborate from four aspects: physical health, infant health, pregnancy and childbirth risks, and social factors to explore whether childbirth at the age of 35 is considered as advanced age.

good health

Generally speaking, female fertility declines with age. The fertility of women around 35 years old has begun to decline. Compared with women in their 20s, it may take longer to become pregnant. In addition, women over 35 years old are more likely to have problems such as irregular ovulation and ovarian dysfunction. These factors may increase the difficulty of pregnancy.

In addition, women over 35 years old also face a higher abortion rate. Age will increase the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities, leading to an increase in the probability of miscarriage. Fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities may cause fetal development problems and increase the risk of children suffering from certain genetic diseases.

In terms of physical health, although childbirth at the age of 35 has not yet reached the age defined clinically, women's fertility and infant health risks will indeed be affected to some extent.

Infant health

Pregnant women over 35 years of age may face more complications during pregnancy. Older pregnant women have a higher risk of gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension and other diseases. These complications may have adverse effects on the mother and fetus, increasing the risk of premature delivery, low birth weight, neonatal death, etc.

At the same time, pregnant women over 35 years old also face a higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome. These chromosomal abnormalities may lead to mental retardation, heart disease and other problems in children.

To sum up, the health of infants is also one of the risks that 35 year old babies may face.

Maternity risk

With the growth of age, women may face more risks during pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women over 35 years old may be more prone to premature delivery, caesarean section and other conditions. Compared with the pregnant women in their 20s, the uterus function of the elderly pregnant women may be poor, and the placental function may decline, thus increasing the difficulty of delivery and the pressure of postpartum recovery.

In addition, older pregnant women may also face a higher risk of postpartum depression. Women over 35 years old face more life pressure and physical changes, which may lead to an increase in the incidence of postpartum depression.

From the perspective of pregnancy and childbirth risks, there is indeed a high risk of pregnancy and childbirth at the age of 35.

social factors

In addition to physiological and medical factors, childbearing at the age of 35 is also affected by some social factors. With the postponement of marriage age and the change of career planning, many women choose to have children around the age of 35. This is closely related to modern women's career development, family economic conditions and personal wishes.

The concept of 35 year old childbearing is also changing. In modern society, the recognition of women's childbearing age is increasing, and childbearing at the age of 35 is no longer considered as the oldest childbearing. Many hospitals also provide relevant medical services to meet the needs of women over 35 years old.

To sum up, although there are certain risks in physical health, infant health and pregnancy and childbirth risks, social factors also promote the trend of 35 year old childbirth to a certain extent.

summary

On the whole, there are some disputes on the medical and social concepts of childbearing at the age of 35. Although the childbearing at the age of 35 has not yet reached the age of clinical definition, women's fertility and infant health risks will indeed be affected to some extent. Similarly, pregnant women over 35 years of age may face more risks during pregnancy and childbirth. However, the modern society's recognition of 35 year old childbearing is increasing, and social factors also affect the trend of 35 year old childbearing to a certain extent. Therefore, although there are some risks in childbearing at the age of 35, it is still a feasible choice with medical technology and social support.
