Embarrassment of giving birth at an advanced age
With the development of society and the change of people's concept of marriage and childbearing, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which makes the phenomenon of elderly childbearing gradually increase. However, the elderly childbearing has also brought a series of problems and puzzles. This article will elaborate on the embarrassment of elder childbearing from the aspects of medical conditions, physical risks, psychological pressure and social problems.
Restrictions on medical conditions
The elderly childbirth has put forward higher requirements for medical conditions. The increase of age will lead to the decline of female fertility, resulting in difficulties in pregnancy and increased risk of abortion. In some areas, under the condition of insufficient medical resources, it is more difficult to give birth at an advanced age. Although the top hospitals in some big cities have advanced reproductive technology and equipment, many families are deterred by the long queue time and high cost.
In addition, the elderly childbearing also faces the problem of maternal supervision. More careful care and monitoring are needed during pregnancy, and the experience and professionalism of hospitals and medical personnel are crucial to the health of mothers and babies. However, medical conditions in some basic hospitals or rural areas are limited, and they cannot provide high-quality maternal monitoring services, which increases the risk of pregnant women and fetuses.
Faced with the restrictions of medical conditions, the government and society should increase investment, improve the fairness and accessibility of medical resource distribution, and provide better medical services for elderly childbearing.
Increased physical risk
Women who give birth at an advanced age face more physical risks. With the increase of age, the function of female reproductive organs decreases and the risk of disease increases. For example, older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications, such as hypertension, diabetes, placenta previa, etc. These diseases not only threaten the pregnant women themselves, but also affect the health of the fetus.
In addition, older pregnant women also face higher risk of miscarriage and premature delivery. The risk of chromosomal abnormalities and embryo abnormalities of fertilized eggs increases due to the decline of egg quality. This not only affects the body and psychology of pregnant women, but also increases the possibility of birth defects and developmental problems of the fetus.
In view of the increase in physical risks, women who have given birth at an advanced age need to be more careful about choosing appropriate time and conditions for childbirth. In addition, prenatal physical examination and routine prenatal examination are essential to help identify and deal with potential problems in a timely manner.
Increased psychological pressure
The psychological pressure brought by the elderly childbirth cannot be ignored. Due to the expectations of their relatives and friends or the society, many elderly parents to be feel that they have taken more responsibility and pressure. Especially in the face of a series of fertility problems and troubles, they may fall into anxiety, depression or remorse, and even marriage crisis.
Social and family support is the key to reduce the psychological pressure of elderly childbearing. Hospitals can offer psychological counseling services to provide professional psychological support for prospective parents. In addition, family and friends should also pay attention to and take care of the mental health of prospective parents, and provide emotional support and understanding.
Attention to social issues
The elderly childbearing has also caused a series of social problems. On the one hand, with the increase of elderly childbearing, related issues have gradually attracted attention, such as the expansion of the market of maternity and baby products, and the adjustment of fertility policies. On the other hand, some social problems also began to emerge, such as the increase of family financial pressure and the aggravation of children's education problems.
For these social problems, the government, the media and all sectors of society need to strengthen attention and research, and provide corresponding policies and support measures. Families should take rational decisions, fully consider their own conditions and possible problems, and make full preparations.
Summary
The embarrassment of elder childbearing is mainly reflected in the restrictions of medical conditions, the increase of physical risks, the increase of psychological pressure and the attention to social problems. Faced with the challenge of elderly childbearing, the government and society should provide better medical services and policy support, and families should reasonably choose the time of childbearing and make full preparations. Only through the joint efforts of the whole society can the elderly childbearing become truly embarrassed and worry free.
