Now, we can say, yes, thank you for your blessing. 'then Gao Yuanyuan also forwarded the microblog. They got married in 2014. Congratulations!
For Gao Yuanyuan, although pregnancy is a matter worthy of celebration, but as an elderly maternal, there are many aspects still need to pay attention to.
So what are the risks of childbearing in elderly women?
After 35 years old, with the increase of age, the incidence of complications such as gestational hypertension, placenta previa, premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, gestational diabetes mellitus, postpartum hemorrhage and so on in elderly women is significantly higher than that in women of the right age.
Abortion prone
With the increase of age, women's reproductive capacity decreased year by year, immunity also weakened, the abortion rate of elderly pregnant women increased significantly. Normal women have to discharge more than 300 mature eggs in their life. With the growth of age, the harmful factors that affect ovarian function are increasing, such as radiation, pathogenic microorganism infection and inflammation. These factors directly lead to the decline of female ovarian function, and the quality of eggs discharged is also declining year by year. The decline of the quality of the egg will lead to the decline of the quality of the fertilized egg, and then bury the root of miscarriage. Due to the growth of age, gynecological diseases also began to increase, in addition to the inflammation of the uterus itself, due to the increase of the age of elderly pregnant women themselves, resulting in genetic material is very prone to distortion or abnormality, which is also the reason why elderly pregnant women are prone to abortion.
Prone to pregnancy complications
Older women may also face complications from pregnancy, pregnancy related hypertension and gestational diabetes are more likely than younger women. The elderly pregnant women in pregnancy, high blood pressure, heart disease or kidney disease, diabetes medical complications are also more opportunities. Due to the age, many of the elderly women may have mild diabetes or hypertension, which may not be detected at ordinary times. Once pregnant, the changes of body functions and hormone levels will induce these recessive diseases, which will not only affect the normal development of the fetus, but also bring life risk to pregnant women.
Difficult to conceive
Whether it is a man or a woman, the fertility will gradually decline with the increase of age. The most ideal childbearing age for a woman is 25-30 years old. If she becomes pregnant at the age of 35, the physiological functions of the body will decline in varying degrees (ovarian function, low estrogen level, etc.), and the probability of pregnancy will also decline significantly. Older women are prone to fear, tension, anxiety, pessimism, shyness, depression and other negative emotions in psychology. These negative emotions will lead to ovarian endocrine disorders, irregular ovulation, even non ovulation, menstruation will begin to disorder or amenorrhea.
It is easy to produce 'abnormal child' and 'stupid fetus'
Egg cells are born to every woman, but since birth, the eggs in the female body will be constantly polluted and affected by the environment. Therefore, the later the delivery time, the more the eggs will be affected by the environment and pollution, and the egg cell quality will also decline, which is prone to egg chromosomal abnormalities, thus giving birth to deformed children. 'This is also the biggest risk for older women. The incidence of congenital stupidity will increase exponentially with the age of pregnant women. If it is about 0.11% at the age of 25-29, it will increase to 0.26% at the age of 30-35 and 0.56% at the age of 36-40.
Dystocia and massive hemorrhage
As women grow older, the joints of the birth canal, perineum and pelvis will become hard and difficult to expand, and the contractile force of the uterus and vaginal extension force are also poor. Some elderly women give birth slowly or even can't open the uterine orifice, so that the delivery time is prolonged, and they are prone to massive hemorrhage and dystocia. Because of this, the cesarean section rate of elderly women is higher than that of ordinary women.
Susceptibility to breast cancer
According to the latest epidemiological survey data, the incidence of breast cancer in women over 35 years old who have given birth for the first time is much higher than that in women over 30 years old who have given birth for the first time. The older the age of first birth, the higher the incidence of breast cancer.
Prone to depression
According to Zhao Tianwei, member of the Beijing Branch of the perinatal society of the Chinese Medical Association, citing statistics from the authoritative organization of clinical medical research, 15% of the 9000 pregnant women tested had depression during pregnancy, which increased by 9% every year. Among them, the elderly pregnant women who are not confident are more likely to suffer from postpartum depression. The symptoms were depression, anxiety, irritability, guilt, confusion, and suicide tendency was the most serious manifestation of depression during pregnancy.
Adverse to postpartum recovery
As we get older, the recovery of various functions of the body is not as fast as before 30 years old, and women's attention to body shape and skin is also not as fast as young women's recovery.
