Risk of childbirth at an advanced age
With the liberalization of the two child policy, more and more couples choose to welcome the arrival of the second child. However, for the elderly child-bearing, the risk of elderly child-bearing has become increasingly prominent after the opening of the second child. The risks brought by elderly childbirth mainly include maternal health problems, fetal development problems and increased complications during pregnancy and childbirth. In order to reduce the risk of elder childbearing, it is necessary to give corresponding solutions from various aspects.
Physical examination and screening in advance
Older women need a comprehensive physical examination and screening before pregnancy to understand their physical condition. These physical examination items include cardiac function examination, pulmonary function examination, thyroid function examination and blood examination to ensure that pregnant women are healthy and suitable for pregnancy. At the same time, genetic testing should also be carried out to understand the potential risks of genetic diseases, so as to take preventive measures as soon as possible.
In the physical examination and screening, if chronic diseases such as heart disease, hypertension and diabetes are found, active treatment and adjustment of disease control should be made before pregnancy to ensure that the disease is stably controlled before pregnancy. Physical examination can also help to find some potential factors of pregnancy and childbirth complications, such as uterine tumor, endometriosis, etc., so as to take corresponding preventive measures as soon as possible.
Strengthen nutrition supplement
The demand for nutrition of elderly pregnant women increases due to the decline of their physical functions. During pregnancy, special attention should be paid to supplement protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to ensure the normal development of the fetus. It is suggested that the elderly pregnant women should have a nutritional diet under the guidance of a doctor or consult a special nutrition clinic during pregnancy to ensure adequate nutrition intake.
In addition, older pregnant women should also avoid smoking, drinking or contacting harmful substances, and maintain good living habits. Reasonable rest and proper exercise are also important means to ensure physical strength.
Regular prenatal examination
For older pregnant women, regular prenatal examination is particularly important. Prenatal examination can detect the signs of pregnancy complications as early as possible, and timely intervention treatment can be carried out. The hospital shall, according to the age and physical condition of the pregnant women, formulate a corresponding prenatal examination plan to monitor their blood pressure, blood sugar, blood routine and other aspects. Regular B ultrasound can observe the development of the fetus and whether there are structural abnormalities.
If fetal abnormalities are found or pregnant women have symptoms of hypertension, gestational diabetes and other complications, corresponding treatment and intervention measures need to be carried out under the guidance of doctors. The purpose of prenatal examination is to ensure the safety of elderly pregnant women and fetuses, rather than over intervening women.
Reasonably arrange delivery mode
The choice of delivery mode for elderly pregnant women is also an important part. Generally speaking, caesarean section is a relatively safe mode of delivery for elderly pregnant women. Cesarean section can avoid the risk of complications such as dystocia and puerperal fever during delivery. However, caesarean section also has the risk of surgical complications, so doctors need to make comprehensive assessment and decision-making according to the specific situation.
In addition, older pregnant women should also receive prenatal education, understand the process and precautions of delivery, and enhance their confidence and sense of security in delivery.
summary
The risk of elderly childbearing after the opening of the second child can not be ignored, but we can effectively reduce the risk of elderly childbearing by taking measures such as physical examination and screening in advance, strengthening nutrition supplementation, regular prenatal inspection and reasonable arrangement of delivery methods. In order to ensure the safety of elderly pregnant women and fetuses, we should pay full attention to the risks of elderly childbirth and actively take corresponding preventive measures.
