Many people think that it is very dangerous for a woman to have a child only when she is over 30. In fact, this statement is not accurate.
Why? There is a process in human physiological development. Generally speaking, the best childbearing age for women is 23-30. At this age, women's physical development has been fully mature, pelvis and muscle flexibility are good, egg quality is high, and pregnancy is relatively safe. Moreover, because pregnant mothers have sufficient life experience at this time, they are more competent for the task of raising children.
However, in fact, many people choose to marry later and have children later because of the pressure of life, or they don't want their baby temporarily because of the working relationship after marriage. Once they want to have a baby, they find that they have passed the best childbearing age stage and entered the old maternity period.
According to medicine, if a woman gives birth to a child over the age of 35, it means that she has become the legendary "old woman". And the conception of old age means "high energy warning ahead". At this stage, women's physical function is in a downward trend, and they are most likely to have problems such as prolonged labor or premature delivery, mainly manifested in the increased incidence of spontaneous abortion and fetal malformation. Therefore, if you are an old woman, you should pay special attention to the pre pregnancy examination and conditioning. In particular, we should take specific measures according to our own situation, so as to prevent trouble before it happens.
What are the risks of old mothers
Safe and smooth delivery is what every expectant mother and father expects. However, due to the high age and the decline of physical function, there are many uncertainties in the process of childbearing. These uncertainties cast a shadow over the expectations of the parents to be. In order to prevent these uncertainties, the first thing we need to know is what the risks are.
What are the risks of old mothers?
With the increase of age, especially after 35 years old, women will obviously feel their body changes. The deterioration of skin, wrinkles and physical strength all indicate that our body functions are beginning to decline. At this point, if we want to have children, we often find it more difficult to conceive. Even if pregnant, it will also face various risks, such as pregnancy hypertension, preeclampsia and other diseases; moreover, due to the poor elasticity of joint ligament tissue, the physical strength of pregnant women is not enough, when giving birth, it is easy to cause dystocia due to uterine contraction. In addition, due to the poor nutritional absorption capacity of the elderly women, it is possible that the maternal fetal intrauterine growth retardation and the weight of premature or full-term newborns are lower than that of normal infants of the same gestational age.
From the genetic point of view, high maternal age will also endanger the health of the baby! The incidence of malformation in the children of the elderly pregnant mother is usually relatively high, external noise, exhaust gas, microwave radiation, etc. will affect the cleavage of the fertilized egg. The older the parturient is, the greater the degree of external interference. During the division of fertilized egg, it may produce different pathological changes. In addition, as the physical quality of the mother is no longer the peak, the calcium deficiency of the baby born at the old age is also higher than that of the mothers of the right age ...
Pre pregnancy preparations for elderly women
Due to the increasing age and aging of body function, the elderly women should be prepared for pregnancy once they decide to have children.
I. psychological preparation
Before pregnancy, the elderly pregnant mother should remember to consult with eugenics to understand what she needs to pay attention to, so as to make psychological preparations in advance.
Early conception
With the increase of age, the vitality of eggs in a woman's body gradually decreases. Too late conception will affect the quality of the embryo.
III. treatment of some diseases existing in the body
There are many risks in the old age childbirth of the puerpera. If the puerpera is ill, it will not only reduce the probability of conception, but also affect the health of herself and the fetus. As a result, older pregnant women should remember to actively treat some diseases in their bodies before delivery.
IV. adjust the diet structure
Neural tube defect (NTD) is a polygenic disease characterized by incomplete development of the brain, spinal cord, the back of the skull and a certain part of the spine. The important factor of neural tube malformation is the lack of folic acid in pregnant women during pregnancy. Therefore, in the prenatal preparation of the elderly pregnant women, in addition to the regular food, fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, lean meat and other foods rich in high-quality protein, they should also remember to supplement folic acid.
5. Change bad habits
Quit smoking, alcohol, coffee, police to prevent excessive fatigue, stress, etc.; avoid drug abuse, if necessary, medication should be under the guidance of doctors. In addition, we need to keep enough sleep to improve the body's immunity. If you do not have a good rest, how can the baby rest well?
Vi. avoid contact with toxic and harmful substances
Pregnant women should pay attention to avoid contact with some harmful substances such as mercury, lead, organic solvents, pesticides, formaldehyde, X-ray, etc.
What kind of examination should old women do
Many old mothers want to have children, but they don't know if they are suitable for them. Therefore, pre pregnancy examination is a must for expectant mothers. So, what are the items that older pregnant women need to check before pregnancy?
I. blood pressure measurement
Pregnancy induced hypertension is a common complication of high-risk pregnancy, which is manifested as multiple organ damage or failure, and even convulsion, coma and even death. However, due to the increase of age, the degree of vascular endothelial damage is more serious. Compared with the primipara, the incidence of pregnancy complications is significantly higher. Therefore, we should pay attention to check the blood pressure before delivery.
II. Examination of pelvic inflammation
With the growth of women's age, the contractility of the uterus and the stretch of the vagina are also poor, prone to massive bleeding and dystocia. Therefore, the elderly pregnant women should do the corresponding gynecological examination and B-ultrasonic examination before planning their pregnancy, so as to exclude the inflammatory disease of the external pelvic cavity.
III. genetic disease examination
The so-called hereditary disease refers to the transmission of certain diseases from parents to infants through genes. Sometimes these diseases are not obvious in parents, but they are obvious in children through heredity. As a result, older pregnant women should be tested for genetic diseases before delivery to determine whether they are ready to have children.
How to recuperate the body of the aged parturient
Many elderly pregnant mothers plan to start having children, and then they will eat a lot of special foods and tonics, thinking that this will help them to have children. But in fact, if pregnant mothers supplement too much nutrition, they will easily have a "giant baby" with excessive nutrition. Therefore, if the elderly women decide to be pregnant, they only need to eat the same as the normal people, and maintain the nutritional balance is enough to meet the physical needs of the baby.
I. reasonable diet
The decision of the elderly women to be pregnant does not mean that they need to have a good baby, but should be based on the balance of dietary nutrients. Pay attention to the variety of food and keep a balanced diet. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, high protein meat, eggs, milk is also the body needs, but not excessive. High protein food should be supplemented by fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition, pay attention to the addition of cereals in the staple food.
2. Develop good eating habits
Quit smoking, alcohol and coffee. Be careful not to overeat. Eat some of every kind of food. In addition, don't overeat every meal, just seven or eight minutes full, don't overeat, chew slowly, extend the eating time, and plan the food for each meal according to the eating plan.
What should be paid attention to in the elderly
It's a dangerous thing for a woman to have a baby when she's over 35 years old, so older mothers should pay more attention to it than their first mothers during pregnancy. So what should older pregnant women pay attention to during childbearing?
I. pre pregnancy examination
Pre pregnancy check-up is very important for the elderly pregnant women. Pre pregnancy check-up can judge whether the pregnant women are suitable to have children, while pre pregnancy check-up can increase the safety of the pregnant women in childbirth.
2. Pay attention to the supplement of nutrition balance
Older pregnant women should pay attention to supplement the body's folate content. The lack of folic acid in pregnant women can easily lead to the development of nervous system in children. In addition, sufficient zinc is necessary at the initial stage of embryo development, so the elderly pregnant mother can eat more beef, seafood, animal liver and other food.
3. Pay attention to the rules of life and rest
Adequate sleep is an important guarantee for the health of mother and child. Therefore, the elderly women should pay attention to the law of daily life and rest, and ensure 8-9 hours of sleep at night.
IV. keep away from bad living environment
The bad environment in life includes noisy and crowded space and radiation environment. We should keep away from these bad living environment to ensure a good space for conception and birth.
