What is considered advanced maternal age?

Older mothers mainly refer to those who are 35 or 30 years old when giving birth to their first child. Some of these mothers will experience delayed delivery or dystocia. Because when women reach middle age, their ischium and pubic bones have already combined to produce some problems, which may lead to some difficulties in the delivery of the fetus. In addition, the pregnant women themselves are at great risk of developing various complications. Therefore, better care is needed for older mothers.

Therefore, the care of older mothers is more critical, and the preservation of the fetus becomes more important. Some older mothers need to pay attention to the need to carefully care for their fetuses. Medically speaking, it is generally to prevent premature births or miscarriages, some abnormal conditions and high-risk syndromes.

Advanced maternal age refers to women who are 35 years old or older when they give birth to their first child, or 34 years old or older when they conceive.

The weight of premature or full-term newborns is lower than that of normal babies of the same gestational age. The number of unexplained stillbirths increases, and the rate of congenital malformations also increases relatively. Therefore, special attention should be paid to prenatal monitoring and examination.

Older pregnant women are most likely to have prolonged labor or difficult labor.

This is because when a woman reaches middle age, the joints of her ischium, pubis, ilium and cuboid bones have basically ossified, forming a fixed pelvic cavity.

Therefore, it is easy to cause birth difficulties when the fetus is delivered, which greatly increases the risk of various complications for the mother herself;

At the same time, it is also very easy to cause the fetus to be retained in the uterus and cause fetal distress.

This distress syndrome is threatening to the fetus. In mild cases, it can cause ischemia and hypoxia of the fetal heart and brain, and even lead to irreversible brain damage. In severe cases, it can cause fatal suffocation.

The main complication for older primiparas is pregnancy-induced hypertension, which can easily affect the health and life safety of the mother and fetus, and should be prevented as early as possible.

If there are other diseases involved, it may lead to premature degeneration of placental function, which is more harmful to the fetus. These should be taken seriously.

In view of the fact that the above-mentioned symptoms may occur in older primiparas, older primiparas and their families must not be complacent but should have a pragmatic attitude and take specific countermeasures according to their own circumstances to prevent problems before they occur.

The above is what age is considered an advanced mother. Advanced mothers refer to those between 30 and 35 years old or even over 35 years old. In life, advanced mothers must be protected in time. When giving birth to their first child, mothers who are 35 years old or older mainly have some delivery problems, which will cause some delivery costs to be prolonged or even difficult to deliver, and they are also more susceptible to many diseases.
