For women, having children is a painful but happy thing. Almost every woman is eager to have her own child. We all know that the best time to have children is when women are about 25 or 26 years old. If they have children beyond this age, they will face many risks. What difficulties will some elderly pregnant women encounter when giving birth
How old is an old woman
After the age of 35, women belong to the stage of advanced maternal age.
From the perspective of eugenics, women are at the best reproductive age between the ages of 24 and 30. At this time, both women's physical strength and egg quality are very excellent. Once women cross the age of 35, this age is a watershed for eugenics. Generally, women's body will fall after they enter the age of 35, This age is not suitable for childbirth. Even after pregnancy, the probability of suffering from gestational diseases is much higher, and the baby may be unhealthy. For example, the probability of some congenital diseases is much higher, so it is really not recommended that women start childbearing after the age of 35.
Risk of older mothers:
1. Abortion, premature birth and dystocia
A 35 year old woman is already middle-aged, so her physical strength is certainly not as good as before. Even the quality of eggs will be much lower. Therefore, when she wants to have a baby, the embryo will not be too high-quality. At this time, even if she is pregnant, miscarriage and premature birth will be very high. In addition, dystocia, because women should arrive at a certain age and the retraction ability of the uterus will decline, When the uterine mouth is difficult to open during childbirth, it will cause dystocia or massive bleeding.
2. Pregnancy complications
Elderly women may have high blood pressure, diabetes, or pre eclampsia complications when they are pregnant. The incidence of these diseases is much higher than that of young mothers, and it will cause serious effects on the fetus and themselves.
3. The probability of deformity is very high
According to the data, the probability of birth deformity for women under the age of 23 is 6%, while the probability of birth deformity for women over the age of 26 is 8%. Therefore, it can be seen that the older the maternal age is, the higher the probability of birth deformity fetus is. Therefore, the elderly maternal are more likely to give birth to abnormal infants with cleft lip and palate, hydrocephalus and neural tube defects.
4. It is difficult to recover after delivery
When young, the wound recovers quickly, but once the body is in the middle-aged stage, the recovery ability slows down, and it is a matter of damage to women's body to have children. Therefore, after the old maternal leaves the baby, the recovery of the body will be very slow, and even some confinement diseases will be caused during the recovery. If you don't pay attention to it after delivery, It is basically impossible to have children, so childbirth is undoubtedly an uneconomical lifetime gamble for elderly mothers.
