The Glory and Tragedy of the Elderly Birth
With the progress of modern medical technology and the change of social concepts, more and more women choose to conceive and give birth when they are older. This kind of birth mode is called the elder birth, and its glory and tragedy coexist. The following are some reasons for the coexistence of glory and tragedy in the elderly childbearing.
1. Personal pursuit and happiness
Many women put career and marriage first when they were young, and they were reluctant to start a family. However, as time goes by, they may regret that they did not enter the stage of marriage and childcare in time. The elderly childbearing provides them with the opportunity to regain happiness and satisfaction, which is a manifestation of personal pursuit.
However, there are certain risks in the elderly childbearing. Physical function declines with age, and women may face more health problems during pregnancy. For example, women with chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes need more medical care during pregnancy. In addition, older pregnant women may be more prone to fetal chromosomal abnormalities, increasing the risk of fetal development defects.
Some real hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, provide professional prenatal counseling and medical services for elderly pregnant women.
2. Scientific and technological progress and assisted reproduction
The development of assisted reproductive technology has provided important support for the elderly childbearing. For example, IVF technology allows women to use frozen eggs for pregnancy after menopause, greatly improving the success rate. This allows many women to continue to realize their mother's dream.
However, assisted reproductive technology also has some problems. IVF requires hormone injection to promote egg development, which may lead to some side effects and risks. In addition, the quality of older women's eggs has declined, and they may need to try many times to get pregnant successfully, which increases the economic and psychological pressure.
3. Social factors and family pressure
In some societies with conservative traditional concepts, it is considered a pity that women did not marry and have children when they were young. This is a huge psychological pressure for some elderly women, who hope to fill the gap in their hearts by giving birth at an advanced age.
However, the elderly childbearing may bring some additional pressure to the family. Older women are no longer young and need more care and care. In addition, children may not be born until their parents are old, so they may not enjoy their parents' long-term company and care.
4. Be beautiful and cherish life
From a positive point of view, the elderly childbearing also reflects people's cherish of life and beautiful longing for family. In modern society, the concept of family is gradually evolving, and people's views on life are also changing. Elderly childbearing is a manifestation of people's pursuit of a happy family and realization of self value.
In a word, the coexistence of glory and tragedy of the elderly birth is caused by many reasons. Although giving birth at an advanced age brings happiness and satisfaction to individuals, there are also risks and pressures. For those women who wish to give birth at an advanced age, they should fully understand the relevant risks and make prudent decisions. At the same time, with the support of hospitals and families, they should do a good job in prenatal examination and care to ensure their own and fetal health.
