The starting age of elderly childbearing
With the development of social economy and people's pursuit of quality of life, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing. Elderly childbearing means that women become pregnant and have children after the age of 35. However, with the growth of age, female fertility will gradually decrease, thus increasing the risk of pregnancy and complications.
According to medical research and clinical experience, the starting age of elder childbearing is generally 35 years old and above. The reason for this age group is that the quality of female eggs decreases with the increase of age, leading to an increased risk of pregnancy difficulties and pregnancy complications.
However, not all women over the age of 35 will face the risk of elderly childbearing, because everyone's physical condition and physiological age are different. Some women are in good health, with relatively high egg quality, and can safely conceive and give birth at a higher age. Therefore, the age group suitable for elderly childbearing needs to be comprehensively evaluated according to individual conditions.
Age appropriate for elderly childbearing
The age group suitable for elder childbearing is mainly evaluated according to the quality and quantity of female eggs. Generally speaking, the number of female eggs has been fixed in early life, and the quality will decline with age.
1. 35-37 years old: In this age group, the number of female eggs is relatively large, but the quality of eggs has begun to decline. The risk of pregnancy and childbirth is relatively low.
2. 38 to 40 years old: In this age group, the number and quality of female eggs began to decline significantly. The risk of pregnancy and childbirth is gradually increasing, but you can still try to conceive naturally.
3. 41-42 years old: In this age group, the number and quality of women's eggs have significantly decreased, and the risk of pregnancy and childbirth is high. It is suggested that women should consider assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) at this time.
Risk of childbirth at an advanced age
Older childbearing brings a series of risks, including maternal and fetal health problems.
1. Pregnant women: Older pregnant women are prone to pregnancy complications, such as hypertension, diabetes, oligohydramnios, etc. At the same time, the delivery of elderly pregnant women is more difficult, which requires more medical intervention and may face the risk of caesarean section.
2. Fetus: The babies born by older pregnant women have a relatively high incidence of malformations. In addition, the development of the fetus in the uterus is also vulnerable, which may lead to premature delivery or other complications.
Therefore, women should carefully assess their own physical conditions and risks when considering childbearing at an advanced age, and choose the appropriate reproductive mode at the appropriate age.
Summary
The starting age of elder childbearing is generally 35 years old and above, because the quality of female eggs begins to decline at this age, and the risk of pregnancy and childbirth increases. However, the age group suitable for elder childbearing needs to be comprehensively evaluated according to individual conditions, which generally includes three stages: 35-37 years old, 38-40 years old and 41-42 years old.
The risks brought about by the elderly include maternal and fetal health problems, such as pregnancy complications, delivery difficulties and the risk of fetal malformations. Therefore, women should carefully consider their own physical conditions and risks when choosing to give birth at an advanced age, and choose appropriate reproductive methods under the guidance of doctors to ensure the health of mothers and babies.
