<h2>What is the risk of elder childbearing?</ h2＞ With the development of social progress and medical technology, more and more women begin to consider having children at a later age. However, the elderly childbearing also brings a series of risks. This article will elaborate on the risks of elderly childbearing from the aspects of physiology and psychology, as well as from the perspectives of fetus and mother/ p＞ ＜ h2 ＞ Physiological hazard ＜/h2 ＞ Physiologically, elderly childbearing increases the risk of a series of pregnancy complications for pregnant women. First of all, the aging leads to the decline of ovarian function, reduces the adsorption capacity of endometrium to embryos, and is easy to lead to difficulties in implantation and habitual abortion. Secondly, older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from hypertension and diabetes, which increases the risk of fetal dysplasia and premature delivery. In addition, eggs produced by older pregnant women are also more prone to chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome/ p＞ In addition, the elderly childbearing also increased the risk of complications during childbirth. Due to the decline of physical function and the aging of pelvic structure, the elderly pregnant women are more likely to have complications such as dystocia, uterine rupture and perineal tear during delivery, which requires emergency cesarean section and other surgical interventions. These complications have brought potential threats to the life safety of mothers and fetuses/ p＞ <p>In the practical application of the hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Zhejiang University Medical College carried out a study. The results showed that the incidence of obstetric complications and cesarean section rate of elderly pregnant women were significantly higher than those of other age groups. This result once again confirmed the danger of elder childbearing/ p＞ ＜ h2 ＞ Psychological danger ＜/h2 ＞ <p>Elderly childbearing not only causes physical risks, but also challenges mental health. Many older expectant mothers will feel anxious and worried because of the pressure of age. They worry about not being able to conceive successfully, the health of the fetus, and whether they can take care of their children. These pressures and anxieties may lead to poor sleep, mood fluctuations and mental health problems/ p＞ In addition, as the elderly childbearing may require more time and money investment, the family pressure between husband and wife will also increase. They need to face higher economic pressure to pay for medical expenses and children's education, and may need to work harder to meet the needs of their families. This kind of pressure may lead to tension and contradiction in the relationship between husband and wife/ p＞ <p>A study conducted by Peking Union Medical College Hospital found that the psychological pressure of older pregnant women during pregnancy and postpartum was significantly higher than that of younger pregnant women. This reminds us once again that the risks of childbirth at an advanced age include not only physical risks, but also mental health risks/ p＞ <h2>fetal risk</h2> <p>In addition to the danger to the mother itself, the elderly childbirth will also pose a certain threat to the development and health of the fetus. As the quality of the eggs of older pregnant women declines, the probability of fetal chromosomal abnormalities will also increase. These abnormalities, including Down's syndrome and Edwards syndrome, will bring a series of problems and challenges to children's future development/ p＞ In addition, older pregnant women are also prone to intrauterine growth retardation and premature delivery. This is due to the increased risk of diabetes and hypertension in elderly pregnant women, which leads to placental insufficiency and affects the nutrition supply and development of the fetus. These problems may have a negative impact on the long-term health of the fetus/ p＞ ＜ h2 ＞ Maternal risk ＜/h2 ＞ <p>Elderly childbearing not only poses risks to the health and psychology of pregnant women, but also affects their health in the future. According to a study by the National Institute of Geriatrics in the United States, women who give birth at an advanced age have a relatively high risk of breast cancer and endometrial cancer. In addition, elderly childbearing will also increase the risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other elderly diseases/ p＞ In general, the risk of elder childbearing exists. From the perspective of physiology and psychology, as well as the fetus and mother, the elderly childbearing will face a series of risks and challenges. Therefore, it is suggested that women should consider having children at an appropriate childbearing age to reduce potential risks and uncertainties/ p＞
