Some modern women, due to work factors and changes in their attitudes towards marriage and love, choose to get married very late and therefore have children relatively late. So, what are the dangers of having a first child at the age of 38?
Women who give birth after the age of thirty can be considered elderly mothers. Older mothers actually pose significant risks to both the baby and the mother herself.
1. The danger of pregnant women. Having a baby at the age of 38 can easily lead to miscarriage, with a chance of up to 30%. In addition, elderly mothers are also prone to some pregnancy related diseases during pregnancy, such as preeclampsia and gestational hypertension. Moreover, during childbirth, due to the hardening of the body's bones, it is easy to experience difficult childbirth, as well as postpartum infections and heavy bleeding.
2. The danger of the baby. Due to difficult childbirth, elderly mothers may keep their babies in their stomachs for too long, resulting in a lack of blood and oxygen. In severe cases, this can cause irreversible damage to the baby's brain and even lead to suffocation and death.
Having a first child at the age of 38 is already a relatively elderly mother, which poses significant risks to both herself and the baby. Mothers are prone to miscarriage and suffer from various pregnancy and postpartum diseases, while babies are more likely to experience difficulties in being born smoothly, resulting in some injuries. Therefore, it is better for women to have children at a suitable age of childbearing, while also taking good care of their physical health to ensure their own well-being.
