The current situation of elderly childbearing
With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more women choose to conceive and give birth at an advanced age. Elderly childbearing generally refers to the pregnancy and childbirth of women over 35 years old. Statistics show that the proportion of older children is increasing year by year. However, the elderly childbearing also brings a series of health problems and risks.
First, older childbearing is associated with a higher risk of maternal disease. With the growth of age, women's reproductive system function will naturally decline, and the possibility of suffering from diseases such as hysteromyoma and endometriosis will also increase. These diseases will not only affect women's fertility, but also adversely affect the development of the fetus.
Secondly, the elderly childbirth will increase the risk of pregnancy complications for pregnant women. When pregnant at an advanced age, pregnant women are more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension, pregnancy induced diabetes, and pregnancy associated anemia. These complications will not only affect the health of the mother, but also may have a negative impact on the development of the fetus.
In addition, the elderly childbirth will also increase the risk of fetal birth defects and chromosomal abnormalities. The increase of female age will lead to the decline of ovarian function and egg quality. Therefore, when older women are pregnant, the risk of fetal congenital diseases is higher than that of younger women. Chromosome abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, are common problems in elderly childbearing.
The effect of elderly childbearing on health
Older childbearing has an important impact on women's health. First, changes during pregnancy have a greater impact on the cardiovascular system. Cardiovascular changes during pregnancy can easily lead to hypertension and pregnancy complications. Secondly, osteoporosis is also an easy problem. Pregnant women need more calcium to meet the needs of the fetus. If the calcium intake of pregnant women is insufficient, it will lead to osteoporosis and increase the risk of fracture. In addition, anemia is also easy to occur during pregnancy, which will have a negative impact on the health of pregnant women and the fetus.
The influence of aging on the fetus can not be ignored. The development of the fetus in the mother is affected by the health of the mother. Older childbearing increases the risk of fetal birth defects and chromosomal abnormalities. In addition, the increase in maternal age will also lead to problems such as low birth weight and premature delivery of the fetus.
How should we deal with it?
Women and families need to take a series of measures to deal with the possible health problems caused by the elderly childbirth.
First of all, women should do a good job of pre pregnancy inspection and prenatal health care in advance. This includes proper nutrition supplementation, regular physical examination, and following the doctor's advice and guidance.
Secondly, women should choose formal medical institutions for pregnancy and childbirth. Regular hospitals have more perfect facilities and professional medical teams, which can timely detect and deal with possible maternal complications.
In addition, women also need to pay attention to health care during pregnancy. Exercise and rest during pregnancy are very important. Proper exercise can enhance physical fitness and reduce the risk of illness; Adequate rest can help relieve discomfort and fatigue during pregnancy.
summary
Older childbearing has a certain impact on women's health and fetal development. When women are pregnant at an advanced age, they should do a good job of prenatal examination and health care in advance, choose professional medical institutions, and pay attention to reasonable exercise and rest during pregnancy. These measures can help to reduce the risks of elderly childbearing and ensure the health of mothers and babies.
