The current social pressure is relatively high, and the burden of improving the quality of life for children is increasing. Many families are delaying the age of having children. There are also many families who are unable to have a second child due to policy restrictions. Now that the policies are in line, they are relatively old. Can they still have children at the age of 46?
At the age of 46, it is also possible to have a child, which depends on the woman's physical condition and whether she still has symptoms of menstruation. If she has stopped menstruating, she cannot conceive. But even if a 46 year old woman has not stopped menstruating, she may still have some difficulties in conceiving. Relatively speaking, the vitality of the egg is lower, making it difficult to conceive. Moreover, after pregnancy, 46 years old is already an advanced maternal age, and more caution is needed in protecting the fetus, making childbirth relatively more dangerous.
What should elderly mothers pay attention to?
1. Supplement folic acid. Pregnant women of all ages should pay attention to supplementing folic acid. Folic acid has a good effect on the development of the nervous system during the growth and development of babies. It is best to supplement it before pregnancy. If it is not supplemented before pregnancy, it should be supplemented in early pregnancy. Eat more foods rich in natural folic acid, such as grapefruit, and you can also eat folic acid lozenges for targeted supplementation.
2. Pre pregnancy examination. Older pregnant women should increase the frequency of pre pregnancy checkups, pay more attention to blood sugar and blood pressure indicators, and have a higher likelihood of developing Down syndrome in their fetuses. Therefore, it is important to conduct Down syndrome screening during pregnancy.
