A number of recent data and expert opinions show that due to their \”high mental maturity\”, \”focusing on family\”, \”solid material foundation\” and \”stable career\”, elderly mothers are in the season of motherhood; now, many experts Said that mothers born in the 1980s are really worried. The current situation of those born in the 1980s: they yell at the slightest physical abnormality, normal pain is unbearable, they are more prone to postpartum depression, and they completely rely on the older generation to take care of newborns…
Therefore, there is indeed a dispute between \”biological age of childbearing\” and \”social age of childbearing\”. The professor of gynecology said that although older mothers have various advantages in social, psychological, and ability aspects, they cannot change the best time for Chinese women to conceive, which is between 24 and 29 years old.
The best age for women to have children is 34-40 years old? A piece of news titled \”The best age for women to have children is between 34 and 40 years old\” was widely reproduced by many domestic health websites. Although delaying childbearing has long been considered risky and detrimental to maternal and infant health, a new study finds that becoming an older mother is a wise choice for most women.
The report points out: At present, the average age of British women having children is stable at 29 years old, but the number of women choosing to get married between the ages of 30 and 40 has increased sharply. A study by the Population Research Center of the University of Texas pointed out that the period when women are most fertile is not the best period for them to have children.
Mailawsky, founder of the American Association for Advanced Motherhood Research, believes that based on the mother\’s average health level and life expectancy, the best time to have children should be between 34 and 40 years old. \”Women who delay childbearing tend to be healthier, live longer, and have healthier babies,\” said Zentaro Aritomo, a professor at the Yamanashi University School of Medicine in Japan.
The reasons why experts support the view that \”34-40 years old is the best age for childbearing\” are summarized as follows: mature mind, abundant financial resources, and stable environment.
They believe that: Older women have usually achieved certain personal goals in society and are more likely to focus on family; because they already have a certain career foundation, they have relatively rich financial resources; many older mothers have poor nutrition during pregnancy Conditions have been shown to be better, and from a sociological perspective they may have a more stable home environment in which their infants can learn.
Expert: \”Advanced age\” does not equal \”adulthood\” Nowadays, many emerging \”post-80s\” urban only mothers generally have childish mentality in all aspects, which is really worrying. \”Husband, parents, and parents-in-law must be accompanied by a group of people for prenatal check-ups. During pregnancy, if the body is slightly abnormal, it will be very sensitive, and it will also be very sensitive to prenatal check-ups.\” The pain of childbirth is normal, and you need companionship and care after giving birth. Once the requirements are not met, depression is easy to occur, and the care of the newborn is basically completely dependent on the older generation of the family…\”
In contrast, older mothers may indeed have various social, psychological, ability, career and other advantages.. But he also reminded that the reality in China is that not every elderly mother has the above qualities. \”What we often see of \”old mothers\” is that they are getting older and older, but their career and other aspects are still deadlocked or stagnant. Therefore, \”old age\” cannot be equated with \”successful age.\”
Older mothers are more likely to affect their fetuses than older fathers. Today\’s medical theory still defines pregnant women over 35 years old as \”elderly\”. Pregnant women over the age of 35 must undergo routine prenatal diagnosis and be treated as high-risk pregnancies. In fact, giving birth at an advanced age is dangerous for both mother and child. Therefore, childbearing at an advanced age is not encouraged.
Perimenopause for Chinese women is around 45-55 years old. The aging of egg cells is irreversible. There is no talk of postponing \”advanced age\” yet. Clinical obstetrics believes that the best time for women to give birth is between 23 and 29 years old. During this period, women\’s psychology and physiology are very mature, and they are most suitable for pregnancy and childbirth.
Doctors say that when a woman reaches the age of 24, her body is basically mature and her bones have been completely calcified. In particular, her pelvis is further widened to meet the requirements of pregnancy and childbirth. After this age, the secretion capacity of the mammary glands will decrease, which can explain why many mothers have insufficient milk.
An older mother is more likely to affect the fetus than an older father because male sperm can reproduce. Normally, women\’s eggs are in a state of constant consumption, with about 2 million primary oocytes and about 300,000 oocytes degenerating during puberty. One to two eggs are released in each menstrual cycle, and about 400 eggs are released from menstruation to menopause.
Therefore, the older a woman is and the older her eggs are, the worse the quality of her eggs will be, which can easily cause chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. But men\’s sperm is made repeatedly. In contrast, older fathers are much less likely to have fetal chromosomal abnormalities than older mothers.
According to clinical research statistics, the older you are, the greater the chance of giving birth to a child with congenital stupidity: the chance of giving birth to a child with congenital stupidity is 1/1500 at the age of 24-29, and the chance of giving birth to a child with congenital stupidity at the age of 20 is 1/250 35-39 years old will give birth to a stupid child, there is a 1/60 chance for those over 40 years old, and a 1/40 chance for those over 45 years old.
