Physical and mental effects of elderly childbearing on marital relationship
With the progress of modern medicine and the change of people's ideas, more and more couples are delaying the childbearing age. However, the elderly childbearing will have a certain impact on the relationship between husband and wife. This article will discuss the influence of elderly childbearing on marital relationship from four aspects: physical and mental health, family pressure, economic burden and interpersonal relationship.
Impact on physical and mental health
Older childbearing has an important impact on women's physical and mental health. In the process of delaying childbearing, women may need to go through a long period of ovulation cycle monitoring, fertility preparation and treatment, which may bring some burden and pressure to the body. At the same time, with the increase of age, the risk of complications during pregnancy of women also increases gradually, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. These physical problems may cause women to feel tired and anxious during pregnancy, thus affecting the emotional communication and quality of life between couples.
In addition, men also face reproductive pressure in the process of giving birth at an advanced age. They may need to bear more economic and family responsibilities, but also face the pressure of their own fertility decline. These problems may have a negative impact on men's psychology, and then affect the stability and harmony of the relationship between husband and wife.
Increased family pressure
Older childbearing often requires a series of treatments and examinations, which not only brings extra financial burden to couples, but also increases the pressure on families. In order to raise enough medical expenses, couples may need to do additional work or borrow money, which brings some troubles to the family economy.
In addition, elderly childbearing often requires couples to spend a lot of energy and time to prepare for childbirth, such as ovulation cycle monitoring, treatment and nursing care during recovery period. These additional family burdens may lead to the relative reduction of time and energy in other aspects of the couple, and thus affect the emotional communication and intimate relationship between the couple.
Elderly childbearing also requires couples to make various personal and family adjustments, including the re planning of lifestyle and career development. These adjustments may further increase the pressure and tension between couples, thus having a certain impact on the relationship between husband and wife.
Increased economic burden
The treatment and examination required by the elderly childbirth often require a large amount of economic expenditure. Couples may have to pay for various medical expenses, drug costs and related assistive technologies. At the same time, due to the relatively high risk of elderly childbearing, couples may need to buy more insurance to protect their own and children's safety. These economic burdens will exert certain pressure on the quality of life and financial status of the couple.
In addition, elderly childbearing often requires couples to spend a lot of time and energy on childbearing preparation and nursing, which may affect the performance of couples in their work, and thus affect their economic income. This increase in economic burden may have an impact on the economic relationship between husband and wife.
Interpersonal challenges
Older childbearing will also bring some challenges to the interpersonal relationship between husband and wife. Couples may need to seek support and understanding from their relatives and friends in the process of childbirth, but their decisions may cause others to question and worry. Some people may think that there is a greater risk of childbirth at an advanced age, and worry about the impact on the health of mothers and babies. These external pressures and negative comments may have a certain impact on the couple's emotions, and even lead to tension between the couple and their relatives and friends.
In addition, the elderly childbearing will also have a certain impact on the couple's social circle. Couples need more time and energy to take care of their children after childbirth, which may lead to a decline in their participation in social activities, and thus affect the communication and interaction with friends and peers.
