The Influence of Elderly Childbearing on Wife's Mental Health
With the progress of society and the development of science and technology, more and more women choose to have children at the right time, which leads to the gradual increase of the number of elderly children. Although the elderly childbearing has brought many benefits to women, it also inevitably has a certain impact on the wife's mental health. This article will elaborate on the impact of elderly childbearing on wife's mental health from the aspects of physiological changes, pregnancy risks, social pressure and economic pressure.
Physiological changes
After a certain age, women's fertility will gradually weaken. Older childbearing may make the wife face greater physiological changes. On the one hand, with the growth of age, the ovarian function will decline, and the quality and quantity of eggs will decrease, increasing the difficulty of pregnancy. On the other hand, women will experience more physical discomfort and pain during pregnancy, such as morning sickness, low back pain, edema, etc. These discomfort will have a certain negative impact on the wife's mental health.
In addition, elderly childbearing may also increase the risk of pregnancy and childbirth complications and fetal abnormalities. These risks may bring more psychological pressure to the wife, worry about her own health and the health of the fetus, and even cause anxiety and fear.
Incubate risks
The risk of pregnancy increases with age. Older wives are more likely to have multiple pregnancies, too much or too little amniotic fluid, placental abruption, etc. These pregnancy risks will increase the uncertainty and fear faced by the wife during pregnancy, and bring certain negative effects on mental health.
In addition, the elderly childbirth may also increase the risk of complications of the wife during childbirth, such as dystocia, caesarean section, etc. The existence of these risks may make wives feel worried and afraid, and affect their mental health.
social pressure
In the traditional concept, it is a common expectation for women to complete childbirth within a certain age. However, with the change of social concepts, the requirements for female fertility have also changed. Older childbearing may bring social pressure to wives, because they need to face various expectations and criticisms from families, relatives, friends and society.
This kind of social pressure may cause the wife to fall into anxiety and depression, resulting in a sense of inferiority and powerlessness, which will have a negative impact on their self-esteem and self-confidence.
Economic pressure
Older childbearing often requires more economic expenditure, such as prenatal examination, nutrition supplement, medical expenses, etc. At the same time, elderly childbearing may also lead to a longer period of labor shortage for wives after childbirth. These economic pressures may bring a lot of psychological burden to the wife.
Wives may feel anxious and worried because of financial pressure, and also have a negative impact on the family's economic situation. They may need to make difficult choices between career and family, and such choices and financial burdens will have a certain impact on the wife's mental health.
summary
The elderly childbearing has a certain impact on the wife's mental health. Physiological changes, pregnancy risks, social pressure and economic pressure may have a negative impact on the wife's mental health. Therefore, wives who plan to give birth at an advanced age should fully understand the relevant risks and challenges, and seek professional medical advice and psychological support to maintain a good psychological state.
