Psychological impact of the risk of elderly childbearing
With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more women choose to conceive and give birth at an advanced age. However, there are also some risks in elderly childbearing, of which psychological impact is one.
First of all, giving birth at an advanced age may cause increased psychological pressure for women. In the past, most women had children in middle age, but now many women choose to have children over the age of 40. They may face pressure from society, family and friends, and worry about their fertility and whether future children can receive enough care and education.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing will also increase women's anxiety and tension. With the growth of age, women's metabolic capacity will gradually decline, and their physical conditions may change, such as more fatigue, more pain, etc. These physical changes may make women feel uneasy and worried, and produce anxiety and tension.
Third, the elderly childbearing will also have a certain impact on the relationship between husband and wife. Due to the growth of women's age, they may need to go through a longer period of preparation for pregnancy and keep trying, which may cause some pressure on the couple's sexual life. At the same time, due to the constraints of the reproductive environment and conditions, couples may face more pressure and challenges, which will have a certain impact on their feelings.
Physical risks of childbirth at an advanced age
In addition to the psychological impact, there are also some physical risks in elderly childbearing.
First of all, older women who have given birth are at greater risk of suffering from certain diseases. With the growth of age, women's bodies will undergo a series of physiological changes, such as hypoovulation, endometrial thinning, etc. These changes may increase the risk of gynecological diseases, such as hysteromyoma, endometriosis, etc.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing also has a certain impact on the development of the fetus. The growth of female age may lead to the decline of egg quality and increase the possibility of chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome. In addition, older women who give birth are also more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension, etc.
Third, older women who have given birth may also face greater risks of childbirth. Due to the increase of age, women's physical function and recovery ability will gradually weaken, which may lead to more laborious and difficult delivery process and increase the risk of maternal and fetal delivery process.
Social risks of elderly childbearing
Older childbearing will not only have an impact on individuals, but also have certain risks to society.
First, elderly childbearing will increase the pressure on social medical resources. Older mothers may need more medical and nursing resources, such as longer hospital stay, more complicated prenatal examinations and operations, which will increase the consumption and burden of medical resources.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing may also lead to the aggravation of the population aging problem. As more and more women choose to give birth at an advanced age, the gap between childbearing age and population aging will further expand, bringing greater challenges to the social pension and welfare system.
Third, the elderly childbearing will have a certain impact on the growth and education of children. Older mothers may not have the same energy and time as young parents to take care of their children, and children may face the dilemma of lack of care and education resources.
Summary
There are psychological impact, physical risk and social risk in elderly childbearing. In terms of psychology, women may face increased psychological pressure, increased anxiety and tension, as well as the impact of marital relations. Physically, women are at increased risk of suffering from certain diseases, the development of the fetus is affected, and mothers face greater risks of delivery. In the social aspect, elderly childbearing will increase the pressure on medical resources, exacerbate the problem of population aging, and affect the growth and education of children. Therefore, giving birth at an advanced age needs careful consideration and advice from doctors.
