37 Is childbirth an elderly parturient?

In modern society, while women are independent in career and economy, they are also facing the trend of delaying childbearing. However, with the growth of age, women's fertility began to decline gradually. So, is 37 an old woman? We can draw conclusions from many aspects.

Changes in physical conditions

Female fertility is closely related to the physical condition of the body. With the growth of age, the quantity and quality of eggs will gradually decline. Especially for women over 35 years old, the quality of eggs will decline significantly, which will reduce the probability of pregnancy and embryo implantation. In addition, due to the gradual decline of physical functions, various complications and problems during pregnancy will also increase. Therefore, physiologically speaking, a 37 year old woman is indeed an elderly woman.

For example, XX Hospital in a city conducted an investigation on the age distribution of puerpera. The results showed that the proportion of mothers aged 37 years and over in all deliveries increased significantly. This also shows that 37 years old is the universal definition of elderly mothers.

Pregnancy risk and pregnancy care

The older you are, the higher the risk of pregnancy. For a 37 year old woman, the risk of complications during pregnancy, including hypertension, diabetes, and placental insufficiency, will increase. In addition, the decrease of metabolic rate and physical function may lead to an increase of uncomfortable symptoms during pregnancy, such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc. Therefore, for 37 year old expectant mothers, special attention should be paid to pregnancy health care during pregnancy, and regular prenatal examination should be carried out to ensure the health of the fetus and mother.

Taking a women's and children's hospital in Shenzhen as an example, the hospital has conducted a survey on women of different ages. The results show that the incidence of complications during pregnancy of women aged 37 years and over is significantly higher than that of women of other ages.

Health risks of children

In addition to the risks to the mothers themselves, childbearing by 37 year old women will also increase the health risks of their children. Research shows that the babies born to older pregnant women have a higher probability of chromosomal abnormalities (such as Down syndrome) and other genetic diseases. In addition, children may face more developmental problems and cognitive decline during their growth. Therefore, from the perspective of children's health risks, 37 year old women are indeed elderly mothers.

Statistics from xx hospital in a province show that the proportion of chromosomal abnormalities in mothers and newborns over 37 years old is more than twice that of other age groups.

Summary

To sum up, 37 year old women are elderly mothers. In terms of changes in physical conditions, pregnancy risks and health care during pregnancy, and health risks of children, the problems and risks faced by 37 year old women during childbirth have significantly increased. Therefore, it is suggested that women aged 37 and above should consult their doctors when considering childbearing, strengthen the regulation of life and diet, and improve the possibility of successful pregnancy and healthy birth.
