Older mothers have shorter life expectancy

Nowadays, many people advocate late marriage and late childbearing. Many women get married and have babies in their thirties or forties. However, many functions of women's body begin to weaken after the age of 35, and those who get pregnant after this age are considered to be elderly pregnant women, which increases certain risks for both the baby and the women themselves.

So do older women have shorter periods of maternity?

There is no direct correlation between the age at which a woman gives birth and the length of her life span. The life span of older women is not necessarily shorter. The length of life is often related to the occurrence of women's diseases, physical fitness, and environmental factors. Older mothers simply refer to women who are older when giving birth, over 35 years old. They are more likely to develop various complications during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. As long as they can recover after giving birth, it will not have a major impact on the body, and is not likely to directly cause a reduction in life expectancy.

Older mothers do not need to worry about a shortened lifespan, they just need to take things as they come. It's just that some older mothers recover more slowly after giving birth and may develop other complications. As long as no disease occurs, it will not affect the woman's life.

It is generally very difficult for older pregnant women to give birth naturally, which can easily lead to a prolonged delivery process, or even dystocia, fetal birth injuries, and asphyxiation. Therefore, 90% of older women will choose a caesarean section. However, cesarean section is a pathological delivery after all, and pregnant women recover more slowly after delivery. Therefore, older women who choose cesarean section must be well prepared physically and mentally.
