As long as a woman who is fertile has the possibility of pregnancy.
In our general understanding, we all think that women will slowly enter menopause after the age of 40, and by the age of 50, most women will begin to enter menopause. After that, around the age of 50-60, most women lose the ability to reproduce.
However, this is not entirely accurate, because there are a small number of women who are still fertile after the age of 60.
After people reach old age, they are often negligent about contraception, and the possibility of pregnancy at such an old age is almost zero, so they will not deliberately contraceptive. The results are often unexpected, perhaps such an oversight that some women after the age of 60 will still become pregnant.
The fact that older women are pregnant can often be seen on the Internet.
For example, in October 2019, a 67-year-old high-risk pregnant woman in Zaozhuang, Shandong Province, gave birth to a baby girl.
At the age of 67, he was naturally conceived and gave birth to a healthy baby, which caused a great sensation on the Internet at that time. Some people say that the old couple is good and responsible; of course, some people accuse them of being too selfish and not thinking about other children who have already reached adulthood.
For an elderly couple who have had both children and granddaughters more than thirty years ago, they actually face many problems in giving birth to a daughter. However, at this age, there was a young daughter, and the old couple always believed that this was destined for heaven, and named their daughter "Heavenly Gift", claiming that he must raise her well.
Why do pregnant elderly people insist on having children?
Although the body of the elderly still has the possibility of pregnancy, it is actually not suitable for pregnant life. Because pregnant women over the age of 40 have a high risk of various complications in pregnancy, the best age for childbearing will be said.
For example, this 67-year-old pregnant woman in Zaozhuang, Shandong, her blood sugar and blood pressure fluctuations in the process of pregnancy are relatively large, and the heart function is grade II, and there are preeclampsia symptoms, liver and kidney function is impaired, the hospital once recommended to terminate the pregnancy, but she herself refused to deal with it.
Even for her sake, the hospital set up a special team to monitor her around the clock. She has been hospitalized in the hospital's high-risk obstetric unit, awaiting delivery, and postpartum and sent to the ICU for further observation along with the newborn.
So, why do these elderly people have to give birth to children regardless of their own safety?
First, the lonely old age of the elderly needs a new life to bring vitality.
Why do we advocate for young people to go home often to spend time with their parents? It is because the elderly are too lonely and lonely.
When I was young, my children were around, but when I got older, my children left.
Children who have their own lives will pay less attention to their parents, and parents will feel that the whole family is dead because they are lonely and have nowhere to tell.
At this time, if a fresh new life appears, it is simply a dawn for elderly parents. Whether the child is a grandchild or a child, as long as it can bring about a different change in their boring life, then they will be overjoyed.
Second, the older you get, the more you are in awe of life.
When you are young, you may not have any feelings for a new life, but the older you are, the more you are in awe of new life.
Being able to have a child at such an age is simply a miracle for these elderly people.
It is already difficult for people to accept the fact that they are old, and the fact of having children can just make them prove that they are not old.
And the older people are, the more stubborn they are, and the things they believe will not change.
Is it good for older people to get pregnant?
While it is true that some elderly people still have the ability to procreate, is it really good that they have children?
Personally, I don't think it's a good thing.
First, the elderly are not as physically as young, and the risks of having children are great.
As I have just said, the probability of various pregnancy complications after the age of 40 will be much higher. If you become pregnant after the age of 60, the first consideration is whether the body can still bear it.
The 67-year-old pregnant woman doctor in Shandong did not advise her to terminate her pregnancy, but she insisted on not listening. That is to say, fortunately, she can still turn the crisis into safety in the case of so many complications, and the process is really scary.
In fact, we look at this matter from other aspects, the woman has such a serious complication, she herself is not willing to do it, so as a man does not care? Knowing that his wife is already ill because she is pregnant, she is in danger at any time. As a husband, how can I bear to let my wife suffer at the age of nearly 70 years old.
Second, raising children after having children is a big problem, and the elderly generally lack energy.
Children can't grow up on their own, even if you have a lot of retirement salary, don't worry about money. However, the amount of energy put into raising children is something that most elderly people cannot afford.
Especially when children are young, it is inseparable from people for a moment. Does a person who has entered old age have enough energy to raise his children?
Third, people are afraid of words, and having children at too old will have an impact on themselves and on their existing children.
Generally, more than 50 years old and then have children will be pointed out, let alone more than 60 years old.
And if you have not had children all the time, the key is that you already have children, and the age of these children can already have children, in this case, it is too embarrassing for children.
A big part of the reason why the children of the old couple in Shandong are angry and don't want to pay attention to them is that their granddaughters are all adults. Suddenly, such a sister who was about the same age as his granddaughter came, which child could feel comfortable in his heart.
epilogue:
Although some elderly people have good health, there is still the possibility of pregnancy.
However, it is still recommended that they should not have children easily.
After all, there are too many problems that may be faced when giving birth to a child, and as an elderly person, it is still necessary to consider various problems comprehensively.
