How do older women face the “pregnancy crisis”?

When talking about this phenomenon, Zhao Tianwei, director of Beijing Mary Maternity and Infant Hospital, said that women over 34 years old have a high chance of dystocia, pregnancy complications and even fetal malformations, which is a physical and psychological problem for the mother. Test. So be careful.

Childbirth at an advanced age has become a “fashion”. Experts from Beijing Mary Maternity and Infant Hospital pointed out that childbirth at an advanced age is no longer a non-mainstream trend among the childbearing population. For example, many female celebrities have given birth at an advanced age recently, such as 36-year-old Kelly Chen, 39-year-old Zhang Ting, etc. If you pay attention to the people around you, you will find that more and more people are pregnant at an advanced age. Most of them are due to the high pressure of work and life now, and everyone hopes to work hard when they are young, so the childbearing period is postponed; a pseudo-DINK family originally decided not to have children but later changed its mind. Various reasons have caused the maternal age to increase year by year.

Dean Zhao Tianwei pointed out that in big cities there are too many factors that influence people’s conceptions of childbearing, and postponing childbirth has even become a mainstream idea. Judging from outpatient statistics, in recent years the age of pregnant women has mainly concentrated between 30 and 33 years old, and there are also many elderly pregnant women over 34 years old. It can be said that a common point has been formed. Social Issues.

Are elderly women a high-risk group? In obstetric clinics, we often encounter consultations from elderly mothers, such as \”How much impact does age have on fertility?\” and \”Are you and your baby in danger?\” Questions like this are encountered every day.

In response to this situation, Dean Zhao said that the older the mother is, the more troubles she may encounter. For example, older eggs will age, and problems such as poor egg quality and higher chances of chromosomal abnormalities will occur during fertilization, leading to a relatively higher incidence of congenital ignorance and fetal malformations; the risk of complications such as diabetes and diabetes is also higher. . Recently, it has been found that older women are more sensitive to pregnancy, and morning sickness is often more severe. This is mainly related to the increase in chorionic gonadotropin levels, and is also related to the psychological endurance of older women.

Frequent checkups before and during pregnancy Because older women are at higher risk, they should be taken seriously before conception. It is recommended to have a detailed pre-pregnancy examination through examination of the reproductive system, blood system and related immunity, teratogens and genetic genes. It can detect hidden dangers in the body and provide the best conception space for the baby.

Don\’t be lucky after pregnancy. It is best to spend the 280 days of pregnancy under the full care of a doctor. Under normal circumstances, perinatal health care files should be established before 12 weeks of pregnancy to understand whether the various organs of the body are suitable for pregnancy. Otherwise, the pregnancy should be terminated decisively. Secondly, malformation screening should be performed during pregnancy, such as Down syndrome screening, which mainly screens for mental retardation and congenital stupidity. When the fetus develops to 22 weeks, four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound can be used to screen for gross abnormalities in the fetus to understand whether the fetal organ development is normal. Maternal diabetes should be tested around 24 weeks to avoid gestational diabetes. At the end of pregnancy, the density of examinations should be increased to understand the fetalThe development of the child\’s organs, whether the amniotic fluid, umbilical cord, and placenta develop normally, and whether the fetus develops normally will be continuously monitored until delivery.

Eat a balanced diet and feel happy. It is important to eat a balanced diet during pregnancy and not be picky about your food. It is recommended that elderly women consciously take folic acid orally to avoid fetal neural tube defects. You should continue to take folic acid after pregnancy, which has positive significance for the smooth pregnancy of a healthy baby.

In addition, older mothers will experience a lot of anxiety during pregnancy, such as the pain of early pregnancy reactions, fear of threatened abortion, fear of fetal malformation, and often prenatal depression, which will affect the health of the mother and fetus. Therefore, maintaining a happy mood is especially important for older pregnant women.
