The Physical Impact of Old Childbearing on Women
Elderly childbearing has a great impact on women's body. From both physical and psychological aspects, it will bring a series of changes and challenges.
First of all, the risk of complications during pregnancy will be increased by the elderly childbearing. As women grow older, their ovarian function gradually declines, and their egg quality also decreases, leading to an increased risk of infertility or miscarriage. In addition, older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from complications such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension, and placental insufficiency.
Secondly, the elderly birth will increase the risk of birth defects. Research shows that when women grow to over 35 years old, the possibility of fetus suffering from congenital heart disease, cleft lip and palate, neural tube defects and other defects will increase significantly. This is because the decline in egg quality leads to an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities, especially Down syndrome caused by trisomy 21.
Third, the impact of elderly childbearing on women's physical recovery and health cannot be ignored. The reproductive process will bring a greater burden on women's body, especially the elderly pregnant women, whose metabolic capacity will decline, their immunity will be weakened, their metabolism will become slower, and their recovery speed will also be relatively slow, which is prone to complications during pregnancy and childbirth or poor recovery after childbirth.
Women's characteristics suitable for elderly childbearing
Although the elderly childbearing brings a series of risks and challenges, not all women are suitable for elderly childbearing. Women who are suitable for giving birth at an advanced age have the following characteristics:
First of all, they are in good health and have no serious chronic diseases. This is because the elderly childbearing itself has higher requirements for women's body, and women with serious diseases tend to experience greater physical burden and risk.
Secondly, they have strong psychological endurance and can cope with various changes and discomfort during pregnancy. Older pregnant women face greater risks and pressures, and they need to have better psychological quality to cope with various possible difficulties and challenges.
Finally, they have enough financial support and family support. Older children need more economic and energy input. They need stable family economy and family support to cope with possible medical expenses and various needs during pregnancy and childcare.
Common hospitals for elderly childbearing
In China, some large general hospitals and specialized hospitals provide services for elderly childbearing. For example, Beijing Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine and other hospitals with high visibility in the field of fertility provide comprehensive maternity care and reproductive technology support for elderly women.
These hospitals have professional teams and equipment that can develop personalized birth plans according to women's specific conditions and provide safe and effective medical services.
Summary
To sum up, the impact of elderly childbearing on women is mainly reflected in the physical aspect. Older pregnant women face higher risk of complications, and the possibility of congenital defects in the fetus increases, which also affects the recovery and health of women. Women who are suitable for giving birth at an advanced age have the characteristics of physical health, strong psychological endurance and financial support. In China, some large general hospitals and specialized hospitals provide elderly childbearing services, which can provide women with comprehensive maternity care and reproductive technology support.
