After the reform and opening up, China has formulated a series of measures that have had an indelible impact on China's economic development. Family planning is something that many people born in the 1980s have encountered. At that time, their children were still young, and many of them were only children because the country called for a one-child policy. As policies continue to change, many families want to have another child after the second-child policy was opened. Can women still have children at the age of 45? 1. Can a woman still conceive naturally at the age of 45? There is an old folk saying that as long as a woman still has her menstruation, it is entirely possible for her to have children. Once menopause occurs, the possibility of uterine conception is basically zero and the reproductive system will automatically terminate. Let's take a look. The average age of menopause for Chinese women is between 45 and 55 years old. However, there are also people who stop menstruating in their 30s. The specific situation may vary depending on each person's physical condition. This refers to the case of natural pregnancy. However, based on women's psychological characteristics and maternal and child health, medicine defines 45 as the latest effective age for childbearing. This is also what people usually call the "optimal childbearing age". After this stage, a woman's chances of becoming pregnant are very small and the risks are higher. The chances of miscarriage, premature birth and birth of a deformed baby are higher than at the appropriate age. If conditions permit, it is best to give birth between the ages of 22 and 30, when the body is fully mature and the risks and difficulties of childbirth are lower. Unless you are a DINK, plans to have children should be put on the table as early as possible. 2. Risks faced by older pregnant women Having children at an advanced age is simply a gamble. You place a huge bet but don’t know what the outcome will be. Besides, giving birth to a child is just the beginning. The physical commitment of educating children poses a challenge to mothers at risk. The parents of these mothers at risk are already old, and there are only a few who can help take care of their children. 1. Prone to difficult labor and miscarriage: With age, uterine contraction and vaginal stretch tension decrease, making difficult labor and postpartum hemorrhage more likely to occur. The chance of cesarean section and maternal mortality rate are also higher than those of young women; the spontaneous abortion rate is also 3 times higher than that of young pregnant women. 2. Complications are prone to occur: The incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome in older primiparas is about 5 times that of younger primiparas, which is more likely to lead to restricted intrauterine growth and development of the fetus. In addition, the older the pregnant woman is, the greater the chance of developing complications such as diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease. This article introduces in detail whether a woman at the age of 45 can still conceive naturally, and also introduces the risks faced by older mothers. As a woman who wants to have a child, it is best to get pregnant and give birth within the appropriate age range. Otherwise, a woman over 35 years old is considered an elderly pregnant woman, and there are many risks associated with elderly pregnant women. Women over 45 are particularly prone to problems. |
