With the progress of modern medicine and the development of social economy, more and more women choose to give birth at an advanced age. However, there are also some risks and challenges associated with elderly childbearing. What aspects should we pay attention to and consider in the face of elderly childbearing? This article will elaborate on the coping methods of older babies from four aspects: physical health, psychological preparation, medical support and life adjustment.
1、 Physical health
Older pregnant women need to pay special attention to their physical health, including basic physical conditions, control and treatment of chronic diseases, nutrition intake, etc. First of all, women need to have a comprehensive physical examination to know whether the individual's health status, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids and other indicators are normal. If there are chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, they need to be actively controlled and treated to avoid adverse effects on pregnancy and fetus.
Secondly, the nutrition intake of elderly pregnant women should be balanced and appropriate. Eat foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, such as fish, eggs, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, to ensure the normal development of the fetus. At the same time, control the intake of carbohydrates and fats to prevent gestational diabetes and excessive weight gain. In addition, we should maintain proper exercise and rest, strengthen physical strength and cardiopulmonary function exercise, and improve our resistance.
Finally, the elderly pregnant women need regular prenatal examination, including special examinations such as B ultrasound and amniocentesis. Regular examination can find and deal with possible problems as early as possible, and reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy.
2、 Psychological preparation
Older pregnant women need to have good psychological preparation to face possible difficulties and pressures. Pregnancy and childcare is an arduous task, which will impose a certain burden on the body and spirit of pregnant women. Therefore, pregnant women need to actively adjust their mentality, maintain an optimistic attitude, and minimize the impact of negative emotions on themselves and the fetus.
Pregnant women can communicate with their families, friends or professional psychological consultants, share their anxiety and concerns, and get support and encouragement. Pregnancy is also an important stage to establish parent-child relationship. You can strengthen the emotional bond between mother and child by participating in prenatal education courses and interacting with the baby, and also cultivate a positive parenting attitude.
If severe anxiety, depression and other psychological problems occur during pregnancy, it is recommended to seek professional psychological guidance and treatment support in time to avoid negative effects on pregnant women and fetuses.
3、 Medical support
Older pregnant women need professional guidance and support from the medical team. First, choose a regular and experienced obstetric hospital or specialized hospital for prenatal examination and delivery. The hospital should have advanced equipment and technology, and be able to provide comprehensive prenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care. For example, Beijing Jian'an Hospital and Shanghai No. 1 Maternal and Infant Health Hospital are professional maternity hospitals for the elderly in China.
Secondly, older pregnant women need to receive more frequent and detailed prenatal examinations, including blood tests, B ultrasound, etc. If necessary, special examinations such as amniocentesis are also required to ensure the health of the fetus. The medical team will also develop a personalized examination plan according to the specific conditions of pregnant women, and provide corresponding guidance and suggestions.
Finally, the medical team will provide timely monitoring and support during the delivery process to ensure the safety of pregnant women and fetuses. In case of complications or delivery difficulties, doctors will timely handle and intervene to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
4、 Life adjustment
Older pregnant women need to make appropriate life adjustment according to their own conditions. First of all, we should reasonably arrange our work and rest time to ensure adequate sleep and rest. Insufficient sleep will affect the physical recovery of pregnant women and the growth and development of the fetus, so it is necessary to pay attention to good sleep habits.
Secondly, older pregnant women need to avoid or reduce the damage and pressure on the body. Do not overwork and bear excessive physical load, and pay attention to maintaining good posture to prevent accidental falls and injuries.
Finally, pregnant women should also stay away from tobacco, alcohol, drugs and other substances harmful to fetal development, and create a healthy living environment.
