Vaginal delivery is beneficial for both mothers and babies, as it results in less bleeding compared to cesarean section. Therefore, postpartum recovery is faster. However, due to certain special conditions, such as elderly mothers having to choose cesarean section, this is also for safety reasons. What are the hazards of vaginal delivery for elderly primiparous women?
In general, elderly primiparous women can give birth naturally. Some people think that if they have a child at a relatively old age, they must have a caesarean section, but this idea is incorrect. If age is not a determining factor for whether a cesarean section can be performed, and if all conditions of the mother are normal and the fetal position is also normal, then it is possible to have a child through vaginal delivery.
Whether elderly mothers can have a vaginal delivery is determined by doctors by measuring pelvic conditions and evaluating the size of the fetus. Therefore, in the late stages of pregnancy, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination, and the examination data can be used to allow doctors to evaluate whether a vaginal delivery is possible.
Generally speaking, the optimal age for childbirth is between 26 and 28 years old. If it exceeds 35 years old, one's overall physical fitness will decline. So, women over the age of 35 are called elderly women. Elderly women encounter more problems during childbirth than younger women, so they should give birth at the optimal age.
