Since the relaxation of the two child policy by the government, many women of childbearing age have planned to have a second child, resulting in a relatively high number of elderly mothers. So, it is very important to pay attention to the age of women of childbearing age who are referred to as elderly mothers, what kind of effects they may have, and how to take preventive measures.
What is the age of a second born elderly mother
1. Second child elderly mothers refer to mothers whose second child is over 35 years old, or mothers who are over 34 years old at the time of conception.
2. Generally speaking, older mothers are more likely to experience intrauterine growth retardation and premature birth.
What should elderly mothers pay attention to when giving birth to a second child
1. After the age of 35, women will have an increased risk of pregnancy induced hypertension, placenta previa, premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, pregnancy induced diabetes and other diseases. Due to the physical condition of the mother, there are also many problems with the baby, such as congenital idiocy, cardiovascular malformations, cleft lip and palate, etc. Therefore, elderly mothers should strengthen their health care and actively prevent complications.
2. During pregnancy, both the first and second pregnancies of elderly women need regular examinations to screen for diabetes, hypertension, hyperthyroidism and preterm labor, and to monitor the fetus in time. If a pregnant woman has undergone a cesarean section before, it is important to exclude uterine scars in the early stages of pregnancy, and to exclude placenta previa and placenta accreta in the middle and late stages. And it is necessary to form a healthy diet and regular exercise, which is beneficial to the health of the fetus.
It's not that elderly mothers can't have healthy babies. As long as adequate prevention measures are taken, relevant problems are detected early and relevant measures are taken, unnecessary symptoms can be avoided. Older mothers only have relatively higher reproductive risks, so both the pregnant mother herself and her family should pay extra attention.
