In Hefei, Anhui Province, a mother who lost her independence successfully gave birth to twin daughters at the age of 60 with the help of IVF technology. Now 11 years later, Ms. Sheng Hailin, 71, has been taking good care of the hard-won twins.
It is reported that Ms. Sheng Hailin's only daughter and son-in-law died in a car accident. Not only that, but also to take care of the wife who has suffered a stroke. In order to alleviate the pain of her own daughter-in-law, at first Ms. Sheng hoped to adopt a child. But it didn't work out. Finally, in 2010, 3 embryos were transferred through IVF technology. In the end, a pair of twins were successfully born. At that time, it also broke the record for the highest age in China.
Many people will certainly not understand, are already 60 years old, have a child out, have the ability to take on the responsibility of raising, can give the child enough love, will not bring a greater burden to the society and other problems are coming up. Ms. Sheng also said that she would do her best to take care of the child, and also said that if she went back to ten years ago, she would choose not to have children.
In any case, the children are already thriving, and the most important thing to do now is to raise two children well.
In fact, there are no more than a few families who have lost their independence in our country, and there are many families who have lost their independence around us.
Moreover, many women in orphaned families are already over the age of 45, and the possibility of normal birth is no longer very likely. IVF techniques are usually required to have children.
According to the conclusion of the baseline survey of the China Family Planning Association in 2006, if the number of only children in China is 70 million, then the number of deaths at the age of 45 and before may reach 7.04 million, saying that the average annual number of only child deaths is 156,000, that is to say, when the parents are 60 or 70 years old, 7.6% and 10% of the children have died before the parents.
Accidents are always quiet, and families with only one children are broken.
In fact, many families who have lost their independence want to have another child, not because they are afraid that they will not have anyone to retire to the end, but more because of the loneliness of their hearts and the thoughts of losing their children.
However, due to the influence of age, elderly couples cannot conceive a second child normally, so with the development of IVF technology, more and more elderly couples who have lost their independence have chosen IVF for secondary birth.
For elderly couples, it is generally recommended to choose three generations of IVF. The biggest problem for elderly women is that the ovarian function is declining, the egg quality is poor, and no eggs are available.
In elderly women, the eggs are prone to aging. In the process of egg aging, genetic factors will receive damage from other aspects, which is prone to chromosomal abnormalities of the fetus.
Therefore, the probability of spontaneous abortion will also be very high, accounting for 10 to 15% of all pregnant women, and by the second half of the 30 years of age, the spontaneous abortion rate will be as high as 20 to 40%.
In addition, even if the fetus can be born normally, the probability of developing Down syndrome and congenital diseases due to chromosomal abnormalities is very high.
Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of fetal malformations and reduce the risk of miscarriage rates, the three-generation IVF technology eliminates unqualified embryos through PGD/PGS technology, and transfers some healthy embryos with great development potential. This increases the odds of pregnancy for older women.
Although families who have lost their independence deserve sympathy, it is not wrong for people to want to have more children when they are middle-aged. It is important to consider whether you can shoulder the responsibility of caring for and educating your children.
