What age is considered as the oldest child?

Elderly childbearing refers to women's pregnancy and childbearing at the age of 35 and above.
With the progress of society and people's pursuit of career, more and more women choose to delay childbearing. However, the elderly childbearing has brought a series of physical and psychological risks.

Physical risks of childbirth at an advanced age

1. Pregnancy complications: The growth of women's age will increase the risk of pregnancy complications, such as pre eclampsia, pregnancy hypertension, etc. These complications have a serious impact on both the mother and the fetus.

2. Fertility problem: The growth of women's age will also increase the risk of infertility. The number and quality of eggs decline with age, leading to a reduced chance of successful pregnancy and even a higher risk of abortion.

3. Fetal abnormalities: The elderly childbirth will increase the risk of chromosomal abnormalities (such as Down syndrome) and other congenital diseases in the fetus. These abnormalities may cause long-term effects such as fetal growth retardation and mental retardation.

Psychological risk of elderly childbearing

1. Stress and anxiety: Delaying childbearing may lead to great stress and anxiety for women. Worried about whether they can successfully conceive and give birth, and whether they can accompany their children to grow, these psychological pressures have a negative impact on women's health and well-being.

2. Self blame and guilt: Some women may feel self blame and guilt after experiencing many unsuccessful IVF babies or miscarriages. They may blame themselves for their decision to delay childbearing and doubt their physical ability.

3. The risk of elderly support: The elderly childbearing means that after the children grow up, their parents are close to retirement or even retired. This will bring a lot of economic and health burdens to parents, and may also affect their children's education.

Hospital practice and risk prevention

Many hospitals have formulated a series of strategies and measures to deal with the risks brought about by the elderly childbirth.

1. Physical evaluation and consultation: Before providing fertility services for elderly women, the hospital will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of their physical conditions and provide relevant consultation. Understanding and evaluating the risk factors of patients is to better select the appropriate treatment plan.

2. Assisted reproductive technology: For women with fertility problems, the hospital will provide assisted reproductive technology, such as test tube babies. These techniques can improve the chance of successful pregnancy and reduce the risk of fetal abnormalities.

3. Multidisciplinary team cooperation: The hospital will set up a team composed of different specialists to provide all-round medical and psychological support for elderly pregnant women. Multidisciplinary cooperation can better cope with various risks and challenges brought about by elderly childbearing.

summary

Elderly childbearing refers to women's pregnancy and childbearing at the age of 35 and above. Older childbearing not only brings physical risks, such as pregnancy complications, fertility problems and fetal abnormalities, but also brings pressure and burden to women's mental health and families. In order to reduce the risk of elderly childbearing, the hospital has taken measures such as body assessment, assisted reproductive technology and multidisciplinary team cooperation. However, women should consider these risks, as well as their own physical conditions and psychological endurance when choosing to give birth at an advanced age.
