The Influence of Older Childbearing on Couple Relationship
Elderly childbearing refers to the pregnancy and childbirth of women over 35 years old. Compared with young couples, the elderly childbearing will have a series of effects on the relationship between husband and wife. First of all, elderly childbearing may lead to an increase in the physical and psychological burden between couples.
Physically, the gradual increase of women's age will lead to a decline in fertility, which is prone to related health problems such as elderly maternal syndrome. At the same time, the higher pregnancy risk makes couples need more physical examination and medical care, which increases the financial and time burden.
Psychologically, due to the uncertainty and risk of pregnancy at an advanced age, couples may face more anxiety and pressure. Women may feel remorse and depression about the decline in fertility caused by aging, and these emotions may have a negative impact on the relationship between husband and wife.
The impact of elderly childbearing on family life
In addition to the impact on the relationship between husband and wife, elderly childbearing will also have a certain impact on family life. First of all, older children need more economic expenditure. In addition to the increase in medical costs, if couples need to achieve pregnancy through assisted reproductive technology, they need to pay higher costs. In addition, elderly childbearing may cause women to be unable to work for a period of time and reduce family income.
Secondly, elderly childbearing also needs the support and help of family members. In the process of childcare, couples may need the assistance of parents or other family members, especially at the younger stage of the child. This may bring new pressure and changes to family relations, because differences in parenting methods and concepts between different family members may lead to conflicts.
In addition, the elderly childbearing may also have a certain impact on the social life and personal development of couples. Because they need more time and energy to take care of their children, couples may reduce their time with friends and opportunities to participate in social activities. At the same time, women may postpone their career development to take better care of their children.
