With the increasing pressure of life and work, many couples do not rush to have children after getting married, but instead focus on work. But in such situations, more and more elderly mothers are appearing, which is actually not good. Because the older a woman gets, the worse her health is and the more likely she is to experience difficult childbirth. So, can a 36 year old first child be delivered naturally?
A woman is 36 years old, which is considered advanced age. If she becomes pregnant, it is considered an advanced maternal age. So for a 36 year old pregnant woman who is giving birth for the first time and wants to have a vaginal delivery, it depends on their physical condition. If the elderly mother has good physical condition and the fetus is in a head position, vaginal delivery can be considered. However, in most cases, cesarean section is safer for elderly mothers and their fetuses.
If elderly mothers want to smoothly pass through the entire pregnancy and give birth to a healthy baby, they need to be particularly careful during pregnancy, develop good lifestyle habits, go to bed and wake up early, not stay up late, and have moderate work intensity. They should not let themselves be too tired. Moreover, elderly mothers should undergo proper prenatal check ups and not be lazy to do so, as it may hinder timely understanding of fetal development.
Older mothers also need to adjust their dietary structure to ensure a diverse range of foods and promote adequate nutrition, which is beneficial for the healthy development of the fetus. Older mothers should avoid sexual activity during pregnancy to ensure normal fetal development. Moreover, elderly mothers should persist in exercising and enhancing their immune system, which is beneficial for smooth childbirth in the future.
