What are the effects of elderly childbearing on the mother's body?

With the development of society and the improvement of economic conditions, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, thus facing the challenge of elder childbearing. However, the physical impact of elderly childbearing on mothers cannot be ignored. This article will elaborate on the physical impact of elderly childbearing on mothers from four aspects.

1. Increased fertility risk

With the growth of age, women's ovarian function and egg quality gradually decline, thus increasing the fertility risk. First, older pregnant women may face a higher abortion rate. Secondly, the risk of fetal malformation also increases. According to medical research, pregnant women over 35 years old are many times more likely to suffer from Down syndrome than young women. In addition, the elderly childbearing is also related to other pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension.

However, it is worth noting that not all elderly pregnant women will face these problems. Everyone's physical condition and genetic genes are different, so they cannot be generalized. However, statistical data show that the risk of childbirth at an advanced age exists.

2. Impaired physical recovery

With the increase of age, women's physical recovery ability gradually weakens. During childbirth, women need to experience a series of physical changes such as pregnancy, childbirth and lactation. However, due to the aging of the body itself, the elderly mothers may need a longer time to recover their physical and mental state.

At the same time, the elderly mothers who gave birth face higher cesarean section rate. Due to the weakening of uterine function, complications may occur during delivery, such as dystocia or fetal distress. These conditions will have a greater impact on the mother's physical condition and recovery.

3. Increased psychological pressure

Older mothers who give birth often need to face greater psychological pressure. On the one hand, the different eyes and doubts of people around them will cause pressure on them. The society often has a certain prejudice against the concept of "elderly puerpera", and some people even accuse them of being selfish and irresponsible.

On the other hand, mothers who give birth at an advanced age may face more anxiety and worry. They will worry about whether their physical condition can cope with the hardships of breeding and raising children. At the same time, they will also consider the future of their children and worry about whether their life expectancy is long enough to accompany their children.

4. Increased health problems

Older mothers are more likely to have some health problems. For example, they are more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension and pregnancy induced diabetes. In addition, due to the decline of ovarian function, aging mothers are more prone to perinatal anemia and osteoporosis.

In short, the elderly childbearing has many effects on the mother's body. The increase of fertility risk, the weakening of physical recovery ability, the increase of psychological pressure and the increase of health problems are the main aspects. If the mother plans to give birth at an advanced age, she should consult the doctor in advance to understand her physical condition and make relevant physical and psychological preparations. At the same time, regular physical examination and attention to nutrition intake are also very important for maintaining health.
