Problems existing in elderly childbearing
Elderly childbearing refers to women's pregnancy and childbearing at the age of 35 and above. With the development of society and the improvement of women's awareness of career development, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which leads to the gradual increase of the proportion of elderly childbearing. Although with the development of medical technology, elderly women can still successfully conceive, but there are many problems and risks in elderly childbearing.
First of all, the elderly childbirth will increase the health risks of pregnant women and fetuses. With the increase of age, the function of female reproductive system will decline, and the quality of eggs will also decline. This may lead to increased difficulties in pregnancy, fetal malformations, premature delivery, low birth weight and other problems. At the same time, older pregnant women are also more likely to suffer from complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension and diabetes.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing will increase the economic burden of families and society. Older pregnant women need more frequent prenatal examinations and more complex prenatal health care measures during pregnancy due to their older childbearing age. In addition, children born to elderly pregnant women may need more resources and energy input in education and upbringing.
Third, having children at an advanced age will increase the pressure on the relationship between husband and wife. Due to the difficulty and risk of childbirth at an advanced age, couples may need to undergo multiple treatments and operations to successfully conceive. This process will increase the couple's psychological pressure, and may even lead to marriage breakdown.
Solution 1: Provide relevant medical services
In order to solve the health risks of elderly childbearing, we can strengthen the construction and service of relevant medical institutions. Major hospitals can set up antenatal care clinics for the elderly, and provide professional obstetricians and nurses. In this way, comprehensive physical examination, consultation and prenatal examination services for elderly women can be provided to help women who are preparing for pregnancy get ready in advance.
At the same time, the hospital can also carry out risk assessment and individualized treatment of elderly childbearing. Through a comprehensive assessment of the individual situation of women, determine whether it is appropriate to give birth at an advanced age and what treatment scheme to take. This can minimize the risk of childbirth at an advanced age and ensure the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
In addition, relevant hospitals can also strengthen postpartum care for elderly pregnant women. The recovery process of the elderly parturient is more slow, and more attention and support are needed for the physical recovery and psychological adjustment after delivery. Therefore, the hospital should provide professional postpartum rehabilitation guidance and psychological counseling to help the puerpera successfully pass the post natal period.
Solution 2: Promote health education
In order to solve the economic burden of elderly childbearing, families and society can strengthen the publicity and promotion of relevant health education. For example, the government can introduce policies such as maternity insurance and maternity allowance to reduce the economic burden of elderly child-bearing families. At the same time, we can increase the popularization of maternal and infant health care knowledge, and improve families' awareness and utilization of health resources needed for elderly childbearing.
In addition, schools and communities can carry out relevant health education activities to popularize to young women the importance of correct understanding of childbearing time and the appropriate range of childbearing age. By improving women's awareness of childbearing, we will guide them to make childbearing planning as early as possible to reduce the incidence of elderly childbearing.
Solution 3: Psychological consultation and support
Psychological counseling and support services can be strengthened to solve the increasing pressure of elderly childbearing on the relationship between husband and wife. Relevant hospitals and social institutions can provide guidance from psychological consultants to help couples solve anxiety, stress, depression and other problems caused by elderly childbearing. At the same time, by carrying out parent-child education and family counseling activities, couples can better cope with the challenges brought by the elderly birth, and enhance the cohesion and stability of the family.
Solution 4: social support and mutual assistance
In addition to providing relevant medical and psychological support, the elderly childbearing families can also rely on the support and mutual assistance of social forces. The society can set up a fund for the elderly childbearing families to provide certain financial support and help for the elderly childbearing families. At the same time, the community can set up a mutual aid group for elderly childbearing families to provide more comprehensive support and help for elderly childbearing families by sharing experience and resources.
Summary
Elderly childbearing is a universal problem facing the world. In order to solve the problems such as health risks, economic burden and pressure on husband and wife relationship caused by the elderly childbearing, we can start from providing relevant medical services, promoting health education, strengthening psychological consultation and support, social support and mutual assistance. The implementation of these solutions can provide better security and support for the elderly childbearing families and promote the healthy development of society.
