Definition and conditions of elderly puerpera

According to the definition of the World Health Organization, elderly mothers refer to pregnant women aged 35 years and above. Women aged 40 and over are called elderly mothers. With the development of society and the improvement of living standards, more and more women choose to postpone childbirth, so the phenomenon of elderly mothers is gradually increasing. However, as the increase of childbearing age will have a certain impact on the health of mothers and infants, elderly mothers should be treated with caution during pregnancy, and hospitals should also provide corresponding prenatal examinations and professional medical services.

Women who meet the conditions for elderly mothers need to meet the following aspects: First, women who are over 35 years old or over 40 years old are called elderly mothers; Second, good health, including normal blood pressure, normal weight, no chronic diseases, etc; Third, there is no genetic problem of abnormal embryos; Fourth, they have certain economic conditions and social support, and can withstand the economic and psychological pressure of raising children.

After reading the above definitions and conditions, you may think of several questions. First of all, does childbirth at the age of 35 meet the definition and conditions of elderly mothers? Secondly, is there any risk for the elderly puerpera? In the following aspects, I will answer these questions one by one.

The relationship between childbearing age and elderly parturients

Whether childbirth at the age of 35 meets the conditions of elderly mothers needs to be measured according to specific definitions. According to the age classification, 35 year old women have reached the age range of elderly mothers, so they can be called elderly mothers. However, compared with older women over 40 years old, 35 year old women may face lower risks. According to statistical data, women under 35 years old have a higher birth probability of babies, while women over 35 years old face a higher risk of miscarriage, premature delivery and disease.

In view of these risks, women over 35 years old should be more cautious in family planning, carry out prenatal examination and consultation as early as possible, and fully understand their own health status and fetal development. In addition, pregnant women should follow a healthy lifestyle, maintain good eating habits and moderate exercise, which will help reduce the occurrence of adverse results.

Even women who give birth at the age of 35 also need to receive professional medical services in hospitals, as well as prenatal examination and consultation, in order to protect the health of mothers and babies to a large extent.

Risks faced by the elderly women

Older women face some special risks during pregnancy, because the female reproductive system changes with age. First, aging will lead to a decline in egg quality, thus increasing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos, such as Down syndrome. Secondly, the elderly women are prone to pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational diabetes and other diseases. *Later, the elderly mothers also face a higher risk of premature delivery and low birth weight babies when giving birth.

However, these risks do not mean that every elderly woman will suffer from these problems, but increase the probability of illness. Fortunately, the development of modern medical technology has made prenatal examination and treatment of elderly women more comprehensive and accurate. Doctors can formulate appropriate prenatal care plans according to individual conditions to reduce the occurrence of risks.

Need to provide perfect medical services

Because of the particularity of elderly mothers, hospitals should pay special attention to this group when providing prenatal examination and medical services. First of all, the hospital should provide comprehensive prenatal examination items, including routine blood testing, B-ultrasound examination, fetal chromosome abnormality screening, etc. Second, hospitals should be equipped with professional obstetricians and nurses to provide professional consultation and support. Third, hospitals should provide appropriate prenatal care and obstetric facilities to ensure the privacy and comfort of pregnant women. *After that, the hospital should regularly carry out obstetric seminars and training, update knowledge and skills, and improve the level of medical care.

summary

In view of the particularity of the elderly women and the risks they face, childbirth at the age of 35 is in line with the conditions of the elderly women. Both women under 35 and women over 40 need to receive professional medical services and prenatal examination during pregnancy. The hospital should provide comprehensive prenatal health care services, including prenatal examination, consultation and support. Through reasonable prenatal care and attention to healthy lifestyle, the elderly mothers can still successfully pass the pregnancy period and bring health and happiness to themselves and their babies.
