Precautions for giving birth at an advanced age
With the development of society and the improvement of living standards, more and more couples choose to postpone childbearing and welcome their babies at an advanced age. However, the elder childbearing is different from the general childbearing, and there are some special precautions. This article will elaborate on the precautions for elder childbearing from the aspects of physical condition, medical security, lifestyle and mental health.
1、 Physical condition
Physical condition is an important aspect of elder childbearing. When women are over 36 years old, the risk of pregnancy complications will increase. Therefore, physical examination should be carried out first, especially to check whether the thyroid function, diabetes, hypertension and other chronic diseases are stable. In addition, a series of gynecological examinations, such as menstruation, ovarian function, endometrial thickness, etc., are needed to ensure that the physical conditions are suitable for pregnancy. If necessary, seek medical advice and receive relevant treatment.
During pregnancy, elderly women still need to maintain good living habits. Maintain proper weight, eat a balanced diet, and avoid overwork and maintain a fixed position for a long time, such as sitting or standing for a long time. Carry out prenatal examination regularly during pregnancy to find and solve potential problems in time to ensure the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
Yes, when an elderly expectant mother is pregnant, she should pay attention to balanced nutrition intake and maintain a good weight. Properly choose foods rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, and avoid excessive intake of high fat, high salt and high sugar foods. At the same time, increase the intake of protein and minerals, such as fish, beans and dairy products, to meet the needs of normal fetal development.
2、 Medical security
The elderly childbearing needs to choose the medical security measures more carefully. When selecting hospitals and doctors, we should consider the facilities of the hospital, the experience and reputation of doctors. Choosing a hospital with rich experience and advanced technology and equipment can improve the safety of elderly pregnant women and fetuses. In addition, it is recommended to communicate more with doctors to understand the problems that may occur during the birth process and the countermeasures, as well as the relevant medical services provided by the hospital.
In addition to medical insurance, we can also consider adding insurance to deal with the additional costs that may be brought about by elderly childbearing. For example, maternity insurance can provide related maternal health care and childbirth expense reimbursement for elderly expectant mothers. In addition, infant insurance can also be selected to provide professional medical insurance and insurance compensation for newborns.
3、 Lifestyle
Lifestyle also has an impact on elderly childbearing. First of all, expectant mothers should maintain a positive attitude towards life and fully enjoy the happiness and happiness brought by pregnancy. And reasonably arrange work, rest and exercise to avoid overwork and excessive mental pressure. At the same time, avoid contact with harmful substances, such as chemicals, radiation and smoking, which will have adverse effects on the development of the fetus.
In terms of diet, elderly expectant mothers should avoid eating raw meat, eggs, raw seafood and other foods to prevent the spread of foodborne diseases. In addition, expectant mothers should always keep their diet clean, avoid food poisoning, and thoroughly clean vegetables and fruits to ensure food safety.
Finally, it is also very important to ensure adequate sleep. Mothers to be need to have enough rest time every day, ensure 7-8 hours of sleep every night, and develop a fixed sleep time. Sleep can help the body recover, enhance immunity, and have a positive impact on the normal development of the fetus.
4、 Mental health
Giving birth at an advanced age is a very special experience for mothers. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a good mental state. Mothers to be can actively participate in some courses to prepare for pregnancy and childbirth, and learn relevant knowledge and skills. Sharing experience, mutual support and encouragement with other expectant mothers can ease tension and anxiety and improve self-confidence.
In addition, the care and support of family and friends also play an important role in the mental health of mothers. In the face of problems and difficulties, communicate with relatives in time to seek help and support.
In the process of giving birth at an advanced age, we should always keep a positive attitude, not give ourselves too much pressure, and believe that we can successfully pass this special period.
summary
Senior childbearing needs to pay special attention to physical condition, medical security, lifestyle and mental health. Adhering to regular physical examination, selecting experienced hospitals and doctors, maintaining a reasonable lifestyle, and paying attention to mental health are all aspects that need to be focused on when giving birth at an advanced age. Through reasonable arrangement and attention to these problems, older expectant mothers can welcome their babies with peace of mind.
