The impact of very old childbearing
Super old childbearing refers to the phenomenon that women are over 35 years old and pregnant. With the progress of modern medical technology, more and more women choose to delay childbearing, which also brings a series of problems and considerations. This article will discuss the influence of super old childbearing on children's healthy development from four aspects: physical health, psychological development, educational resources and family stability.
good health
There are certain risks to the mother's health when giving birth at a very old age. On the one hand, with the growth of age, the female reproductive system will gradually degenerate, reducing reproductive capacity. On the other hand, due to the age of pregnant women, the proportion of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes will also increase. These chronic diseases will increase the risk of pregnancy complications, such as placental abruption, fetal growth retardation, etc. In addition, older pregnant women are prone to fetal death and spontaneous abortion during pregnancy.
For children, the embryo quality of elderly mothers will decline with age, which may increase the risk of congenital diseases. For example, the incidence of age-related genetic diseases such as Down's syndrome and congenital heart disease will increase with the age of parents. In addition, elderly mothers are often accompanied by long-term infertility, and may need assisted reproductive technology to successfully conceive, which will also increase the risk of genetic diseases in children.
Therefore, very old childbearing may have a certain negative impact on children's health.
psychological development
There are also some problems in the psychological development of children born at an extremely old age. First of all, children born at a very old age may face more psychological pressure during their growth. Because parents are old, children will feel different social identity and anxiety from their peers in daily life. In addition, the physical strength and energy of parents are limited, and it is difficult to meet the needs of children. This may cause children to feel psychologically neglected or isolated, and doubt their self-worth.
In addition, parents of children born at an extremely old age may also face greater psychological difficulties. Excessive expectations and anxiety may lead to parents' excessive intervention in children's education, bring psychological burden to children, and affect their autonomy and the development of exploration spirit.
To sum up, giving birth at a very old age will have a certain negative impact on children's psychological development.
educational resources
Children born at a very old age may also face some difficulties in educational resources. Because the parents of very old children belong to the late childbearing group, their children's school age may be significantly different from their peers. This means that children born at a very old age will face learning and communication difficulties brought about by age differences in school.
In addition, because the family economic conditions of children born at a very old age may be relatively good, they will face the pressure of social expectations and evaluation on them. This may lead to higher academic and social pressure on children born at an extremely old age, which will have a certain impact on their development.
Therefore, children born at an extremely old age may face certain disadvantages in terms of educational resources.
Family stability
Super old childbearing also has a certain impact on family stability. Because their parents are older, their physical condition is also relatively poor. For a long time, parents who have given birth at a very old age may have to bear more health problems and corresponding medical expenses, which may bring a certain burden to the family economy. In addition, there is a gap in the age of the parents who have given birth at a very old age, which may lead to the instability of the marital relationship and bring psychological and emotional distress to the children.
To sum up, super old childbearing may have a certain negative impact on the stability of the family.
Summary
Long term infertility may cause some women to procrastinate and choose to give birth at an extremely old age. However, very old childbearing has certain adverse effects on the healthy development of children. From the four aspects of physical health, psychological development, educational resources and family stability, the birth of ultra old children may have a certain negative impact on the physical and mental health of children. Therefore, when considering childbearing, multiple factors should be considered comprehensively to weigh the advantages and disadvantages to ensure the healthy and happy growth of children.
