Health problems caused by elderly childbearing of wives
With the delay of women's childbearing age and social changes, more and more women choose to give birth at an advanced age. However, the elderly childbearing of wives will bring a series of health problems. This article elaborates on the problems that may be caused by the wife's elderly childbirth from the aspects of pregnant women's own health, pregnancy complications, fetal health and delivery risks.
1、 Pregnant women's own health
1. Pregnant women with elderly wives who give birth may face higher risk of diabetes and hypertension. With the growth of age, the body metabolism gradually slows down, and pregnant women are more likely to suffer from diabetes and hypertension.
2. Pregnant women may have more severe vomiting and pregnancy reaction symptoms when giving birth at an advanced age. These symptoms will affect the diet and nutrition intake of pregnant women, and have a certain impact on the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
3. The risk of skin aging and bone osteoporosis in elderly pregnant women is increased. With the growth of age, women's skin and bones will gradually become thinner and looser, and these factors will have a negative impact on the physical recovery during pregnancy and the development of the fetus.
2、 Pregnancy complications
1. Pregnant women with older wives who give birth may face higher risk of amniotic fluid embolism and pre eclampsia. As the age of pregnant women increases, their body gradually shows aging changes, and their blood circulation and metabolic capacity may be reduced, thus increasing the risk of these pregnancy complications.
2. Older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from placental abruption and oligohydramnios. This is because the elasticity and blood supply capacity of the pregnant woman's blood vessels are reduced, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the placenta and the fetus. At the same time, the secretion of amniotic fluid is reduced, which is detrimental to the development of the fetus.
3. Older pregnant women are more likely to suffer from gestational diabetes. During pregnancy, hormone secretion of pregnant women will lead to insulin resistance, while older pregnant women are more likely to have insulin resistance, which will lead to increased blood sugar, and then develop gestational diabetes.
3、 Fetal health
1. The risk of chromosomal abnormalities of fetuses born to elderly pregnant women is increased. Aging will lead to the decline of egg quality, which will increase the risk of structural damage and abnormal number of chromosomes, thus increasing the chance of fetus suffering from Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities.
2. The fetus born by the old wife may face a higher risk of premature delivery and low weight. Older pregnant women are prone to pregnancy complications and placental dysfunction, which will lead to insufficient oxygen supply and nutrition of the fetus, thus increasing the risk of premature delivery and low weight.
3. Children of older pregnant women may be more likely to suffer from some genetic diseases. Aging will lead to a decline in egg quality, increase the risk of genetic abnormalities in embryos, and thus increase the probability of children suffering from some genetic diseases.
4、 Delivery risk
1. Older pregnant women may have more complications during delivery, such as prolonged labor, decreased labor force, uterine rupture, etc. This is because the elasticity of the uterus muscle of the elderly pregnant women is reduced, and the uterine contractility is weakened, which makes the delivery process more difficult and complex.
2. Elderly pregnant women may need cesarean section during delivery. This is because the elderly pregnant women may face problems such as placental dysfunction and fetal distress, which will lead to the failure of delivery, and cesarean section is needed to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
3. Older pregnant women recover slowly after childbirth, and are prone to postpartum depression and other psychological problems. The increasing age will lead to the decline of the physical recovery ability of pregnant women. At the same time, more postpartum pressure will also bring psychological burden to pregnant women, which is prone to psychological problems.
To sum up, the elderly childbirth of the wife will lead to maternal health problems, pregnancy complications, fetal health problems and delivery risks. Therefore, when giving birth at an advanced age, pregnant women should pay special attention to their own health, carry out regular physical examination and prenatal examination, and closely cooperate with doctors to ensure the health and safety of mothers and babies.
