Definition of elder childbearing

Elderly childbearing generally refers to women's pregnancy and childbirth in the age range of 35 years and above. With the improvement of social and economic level, the change of living habits and the improvement of medical conditions, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which leads to the gradual increase of the proportion of elderly childbearing. However, the elderly childbearing has also brought a series of problems and challenges.

The challenge of elder childbearing

1. Increasing difficulty in childbearing: The growth of women's age will affect the quality and quantity of eggs, thus reducing the chance of pregnancy. In addition, older pregnant women are more likely to have pregnancy complications, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc.

2. Increased genetic risk: With the growth of age, the risk of female chromosome abnormalities will also increase, which may lead to chromosome abnormalities in embryos, such as Down's syndrome and other genetic diseases.

3. The burden of life is heavier: giving birth at an advanced age requires more physical strength and energy to take care of children, which is undoubtedly a difficult task for mothers who are over 50 years old.

The reasons for the elderly childbearing

1. Pressure on career development: In modern society, more and more women choose to develop their careers first, and consider childbearing after their careers become stable. In this way, the birth time is naturally postponed.

2. Changes in economic conditions: It costs a lot to have children, and some couples dare not decide to have children easily before they have enough money.

3. Changes in marital status: factors such as late marriage, remarriage, divorce and singleness may cause women to delay childbearing.

The society's view on the elderly childbearing

1. Positive attitude: Some people believe that giving birth at an advanced age is the right of women's independent choice, which should be encouraged and supported. They believe that with the progress of medical technology, older women may also be able to successfully conceive and deliver.

2. Alert attitude: Other people worry that childbirth at an advanced age will increase the risk of pregnant women and infants. They believe that women should give birth within a more appropriate age range to ensure the health and safety of mothers and infants.

3. Medical restrictions: Although some hospitals have elderly obstetrics, some hospitals stipulate that women will not accept childbearing women after reaching a certain age.

Summary

With the development of society and the change of life style, the phenomenon of elder childbearing is more and more common. Although there are many challenges facing the elderly childbearing, including the increasing difficulty of childbearing and genetic risks, there are also some people who support and encourage the elderly childbearing. For women, it is necessary to comprehensively consider their personal life and health status, communicate with doctors and assess risks before deciding to give birth at an advanced age. At the same time, the society should strengthen publicity and education, so that women can form a correct concept of fertility, and provide necessary support and security.
