For older women who are dedicated to pursuing career success, explain to them the dangers of pregnancy after the age of 35. The dangers of pregnancy allow them to properly consider the pros and cons. The dangers of pregnancy after the age of 35 are as follows:

1. Harm to mothers, susceptible to pregnancy hypertension, preeclampsia and other diseases; due to advanced age, poor elasticity of joint ligament tissue, uterine contraction and weakness caused by dystocia; susceptible to postpartum anemia and postpartum anemia; weak.

2. Harm to the child, the woman reaches middle age, and her sciatic, pubic, skeletal, and dicicular bones have basically ossified, forming a fixed pelvic cavity. Therefore, when the fetus is born, it is easy to cause labor difficulties, which greatly increases the risk of complications of the mother herself; at the same time, it is very easy to cause fetal distress in the uterus. This kind of distress is a threat to the fetus. The mild one affects the fetal heart and brain ischemia and hypoxia, and even causes irreversible brain damage. Neonatal injury is prone to occur during childbirth; neonatal asphyxia is prone to occur; the incidence of deformities increases.

Although everyone's situation is not the same, all expectant mothers who are over 30 years old are facing the same concerns or health problems, especially after they are 35 years old, you will be regarded as "old mothers" , Seems to be full of dangers everywhere ^[1]

Nowadays, more and more young people have postponed the marriage and childbearing age for the sake of their careers, but they are worried that raising their children at an older age will adversely affect both mothers and children. Indeed, when women over 35 are pregnant, they are significantly more at risk than women of normal childbearing age. It is best not to give birth to a woman over 30 years old, especially not to over 35 years old. Medical studies have found that women who have had children after 35 years of age have difficulty giving birth (breech, surgery, and

Nutritional supplementation for older pregnant women has always been a topic of great concern to older pregnant women. How to reduce the health risks caused by age through the nutritional supply, and to conceive a healthy baby? Paying attention to the intake of calcium-containing food is an important measure in the nutritional supply of elderly women.

Pregnancy and childbirth occur after the age of 35, and are medically referred to as early-stage (pregnant) mothers. Compared with young women, due to decreased elasticity of the birth canal and perineal muscles, pelvic joint ligaments become harder, dystocia may occur during childbirth, and complications such as hypertension and diabetes are easy to cause. ^[2]

First of all, pressure from the family and the outside world can easily make them nervous; physiological reasons also easily cause difficulty in conception.

Secondly, the chance of fetal problems is more than young pregnant women; the impact of harmful substances in the environment on the fetus cannot be ignored.

Third, the delivery process of older women may be longer than that of young women, and the rate of cesarean section is higher than that of young women.

Fourth, the comorbidities of older women (such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc.) may increase, which will have a certain impact on mothers and children. Moreover, older pregnant women are more susceptible to pregnancy complications (such as gestational hypertension syndrome, gestational diabetes, etc.) throughout the pregnancy, and are likely to cause complex high-risk conditions.

These problems may make senior pregnant women nervous and anxious, but as long as every family and every doctor comes to care for these elderly pregnant women and do prenatal care, it will definitely make such families get healthy children.

Confinement is very important for postpartum women. For older mothers, the postpartum body is indeed weaker than younger mothers. Therefore, care during confinement is more important. But older mothers have more misconceptions about confinement than ordinary pregnant mothers. So what problems do older women need to pay attention to when confinement?

In order to make the postpartum mother in the confinement recover as soon as possible, the old people always tell novice mothers: "This can't be done, that can't be eaten!" For example, confinement can't take a bath, can't exercise, can't comb his hair ...

In fact, confinement, for older mothers, there are too many misunderstandings. In the consultation and service of mother and child care for many years, Shu Xin's mother found that the misconceptions of confinement of older mothers are much more common than that of ordinary pregnant mothers. Because it is not easy for elderly pregnant women to get a child, it is naturally more expensive. In addition, the body is indeed weaker than a young mother, and it is necessary to pay attention to maintenance.

Pregnant women over the age of 30 are generally referred to as older women. Older pregnant women are more likely to have skin problems than normal pregnant women. Some of the more common problems are dry skin, some even wrinkles, all of which indicate that 30-year-old women's skin has slowly gone downhill. In addition, during the period of pregnancy and motherhood, because of endocrine instability, skin oils increase, pigment accumulation, and even skin problems such as stretch marks and melasma. So at this time, it is inevitable for pregnant women to take care of their skin. Otherwise, it will become a real yellow-faced woman after pregnancy, and it is not impossible.

Regarding skin care at this stage, pregnant women's skincare experts suggest:

First, wash your face: It is suggested that you must wash your face with child soap and glycerin soap. If you have dry skin, you must wash your face often. Because you often wash your face with soap, you can simply wash away the natural oil on your face.

Second, hydration: At this time, women face double skin dryness pressure (from age and motherhood). Therefore, solving the problem of dry skin will be the key to maintaining the skin. Therefore, we can never use some supplementary fishery products to replace it at will. When using, apply the product to a dry place and massage it slightly (note: it must be massaged slightly on dry skin, this is very useful).

Third, reduce bathing time: excessively reduce the bathing time in the bath. If the bathing time is too long, it will simply cause skin hair loss. In order to better prevent skin hair loss during immersion, you can also add some bath oil in the water. Do not use ordinary towels and immersion.

Fourth, apply oil after bath: For immersion, apply moisturizer on every corner of your body. Just after immersion, the boiling of water is extremely fast because of the origin of heating. Applying moisturizer can effectively prevent skin dryness.

Fifth, nutrient imbalances: pay special attention to nutritional imbalances in livelihoods, and increase the absorption of minerals such as magnesium and calcium. You can eat some meat slices, fish, eggs, and increase excess fat and acid, such as green Vegetables, fruits, nuts, cereals, goat's milk, fish oil, beans, etc. In your daily livelihood, you should avoid excessive intake of sedative ingredients such as Nestle coffee, wine, tea, etc., and pay attention to drinking more water.

In short, the above five methods are used as the foundation. In daily life, cosmetics that can be used by pregnant women are used as supplements. Be sure to choose skin care products for pregnant women to ensure the safety of pregnant mothers and babies. ^[3]
