Events and risks of elderly childbearing
In recent years, with the development of society and the improvement of living standards, more and more women choose to delay childbearing, leading to the phenomenon of elderly childbearing gradually increased. Older childbearing not only brings certain risks to pregnant women themselves, but also affects the health of newborns. Therefore, we need to understand and deal with the risks of elderly childbearing.
Physiological risk
On the one hand, with the growth of age, women's reproductive capacity gradually declined. The number and quality of eggs decreased, and the possibility of infertility increased. After the age of 35, the success rate of pregnancy has declined significantly, increasing the demand for infertility treatment. In addition, the risk of pregnancy complications of elderly pregnant women will also increase, such as pregnancy hypertension, pregnancy diabetes, etc. These will pose a threat to the health and safety of pregnant women.
On the other hand, the elderly childbearing will also have a potential impact on the health of newborns. The frequency of genetic diseases such as chromosome abnormalities also increases with age. These problems may lead to the birth of unhealthy babies and increase the risk of neonatal death. Therefore, the potential risks of elderly childbearing need to be paid enough attention.
