Consequences of two child bearing at an advanced age
With the adjustment of China's family planning policy, more and more couples choose to have a second child. However, as women grow older, the risk of pregnancy and childbirth increases. The elderly birth of two children may bring about a series of consequences, from physical health to psychological pressure, which need our in-depth understanding and attention.
Physical health consequences
For women, having a second child at an advanced age may bring a series of health problems. First of all, pregnancy and childbirth have a greater impact on women's health. Older childbirth will increase the risk of pregnant women suffering from gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension and other pregnancy complications. Secondly, with the increase of age, female ovarian function decreases, which may lead to an increase in the incidence of spontaneous abortion and fetal chromosomal abnormalities. In addition, older women may also face higher risks of delivery complications, such as dystocia, uterine rupture, etc.
Although modern medical technology can reduce some risks, it cannot be completely eliminated. Therefore, for older women, the second birth needs more careful and prudent consideration.
Consequences of children's education
The elderly birth of two children also has a certain impact on children's education. The cost of children's education has gradually increased over time, especially in areas with limited educational resources, and families may face greater economic pressure. In addition, older parents may have an impact on education methods and family environment, and second child may face more conservative education concepts and family norms.
In addition, elderly parents may be unable to accompany their children because of health problems, resulting in a lack of closeness and parent-child communication. This may have a certain impact on the physical and mental development of children.
Consequences of family stress
The elderly birth of two children may bring greater pressure to the whole family. The first is economic pressure. Raising two or more children requires more economic expenditure. Especially in large cities with high housing prices, the cost of housing and education may become a burden for families. Secondly, communication and coordination between husband and wife also face greater difficulties, especially when one or both parents have career needs to develop.
In addition, elderly childbearing may bring pressure on the physical and mental health of couples. Women's physical discomfort during pregnancy and childbirth, as well as fatigue in the process of child rearing, may lead to tension in the relationship between husband and wife, and reduce intimacy.
Consequences of social pressure
In our society, there are still some social pressures on the second child delivery at an advanced age. Although the implementation of the two child policy has released more reproductive rights, there are still some influences of traditional ideas, including the pressure of family and friends. Older women may be misunderstood and questioned by people around them, and their support and understanding may be insufficient.
In addition, the society also has certain prejudice and discrimination against the elderly mothers and children. For example, children may face more restrictions and challenges in school and work. All of these have brought additional pressure to the two child old age childbearing.
To sum up, the consequences of the two child old birth involve physical health, children's education, family pressure and social pressure. When choosing to have a second child, both husband and wife need to comprehensively consider the risks and challenges in these aspects and make rational decisions.
