Myth 1: Older childbearing poses risks to maternal and infant health
Some people believe that pregnancy after the age of 45 is likely to lead to increased risks of miscarriage, premature delivery, congenital defects, etc. However, in fact, scientific research shows that the risk of elderly childbirth on maternal and infant health is not absolute. First of all, the progress of modern medical technology enables older pregnant women to receive more comprehensive prenatal examination and health care guidance, effectively reducing the incidence of pregnancy complications and postpartum complications. Secondly, considering factors such as age, health status during pregnancy and lifestyle, doctors will provide personalized medical plans for elderly pregnant women and more refined health care services during pregnancy. In addition, the medical community continues to improve the success rate of assisted reproductive technology and provide more options for older pregnant women. Therefore, 45 year old women who choose to give birth at an advanced age do not mean that they will face huge risks.
In addition, it is unfair to attribute the risk of elderly childbearing only to women's age. In fact, the influence of male age on fertility risk cannot be ignored. The biological clock of men also plays a role. Their sperm quality and production will also decline with age, thus increasing the probability of female pregnancy and embryo implantation. Therefore, the risk assessment of elderly childbearing should comprehensively consider the age and health status of both men and women, not only women's age.
To sum up, the risk of childbirth at an advanced age is not insurmountable. Through modern medical technology and personalized medical programs, 45 year old women can also safely choose to give birth at an advanced age.
Misunderstanding 2: Old age birth is a selfish choice
Some people believe that giving birth at an advanced age is a selfish choice for women to meet their personal desires, regardless of the well-being of their children. However, elderly women often choose to give birth at an advanced age not only to meet their personal desires, but also based on various considerations.
First of all, elderly women decide to give birth only after their career and life are stable, which means that they can provide better material and spiritual conditions for their children. They usually have more rich life experience and cultivation ability, can better educate children and provide more comprehensive support for their growth.
Secondly, older pregnant women tend to pay more attention to the health and happiness of their children. Because they understand the importance of their age, physical condition and mental state to the breeding and rearing of children, they will pay more attention to the management of diet, sports, mental health and other aspects. In addition, giving birth at an advanced age often requires more economic investment, so for families with limited economic conditions, choosing to give birth at an advanced age also means greater sacrifice and dedication.
In a word, elder childbearing is not only a selfish choice, but also a responsible attitude towards life and family. Only from a comprehensive perspective can we rationally evaluate the reproductive choices of elderly women.
Misunderstanding 3: It is impossible to give birth at an advanced age
Some people believe that 45 year old women can hardly conceive naturally and can only achieve fertility through artificial assisted reproductive technology. However, this is not the case. Although women's fertility declines with age, not all 45 year old women are unable to conceive naturally.
First of all, women's reproductive function is related to many factors such as constitution and heredity. Some women still have normal ovulation function and uterine environment at the age of 45, and can conceive naturally. In addition, some women may have completed measures such as freezing eggs at a younger age, so as to keep their fertility opportunities to a higher age.
Secondly, the progress of assisted reproductive technology also provides more opportunities for older women to achieve fertility. Assisted reproductive technology, including in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, can improve the success rate of pregnancy. Some hospitals, such as People's Hospital and Zhongshan Hospital, have accumulated rich experience in providing professional assisted reproductive services for elderly women.
Therefore, the choice of elderly women to have children does not mean that it is impossible to succeed. Through natural pregnancy or artificial assistance technology, they have the opportunity to realize their mother's dream.
Myth 4: Older childbearing affects parent-child relationship
Some people believe that the birth of older women is likely to lead to a deeper generation gap and estrangement of parent-child relationship. However, this view is a misunderstanding of the intimate relationship between elderly mothers and children.
First of all, older women usually have a more mature psychological state and stable family environment, which can provide better love and education. They have more time and energy to devote to the growth of their children, so they can establish a close parent-child relationship.
Secondly, children's growth depends not only on biological factors, but also on their parents' companionship and education. After experiencing the ups and downs of life, older mothers know how to guide their children correctly and teach them to face difficulties and challenges. They usually have higher education quality and psychological intelligence, and can face the parent-child relationship with a more rational and mature attitude.
Therefore, elderly childbearing does not lead to estrangement of parent-child relationship. On the contrary, elderly mothers tend to be able to establish a more stable and intimate parent-child relationship.
Summary
Some common misunderstandings need to be solved about the 45 year old women's choice of childbearing at an advanced age. First of all, elderly childbirth does not pose an absolute risk to the health of mothers and infants. Through modern medical technology and personalized medical programs, risks can be effectively controlled. Secondly, childbearing at an advanced age is not a selfish choice. Older women can provide better material and spiritual support to their children. Third, elderly women are not completely unable to successfully conceive naturally, but can also achieve fertility through artificial assisted reproductive technology. Finally, the elderly childbearing does not affect the parent-child relationship. On the contrary, elderly mothers tend to be able to establish a more intimate and stable parent-child relationship. Therefore, all factors should be considered objectively and comprehensively when evaluating the reproductive choice of elderly women.
