Can a 40-year-old woman still have children?
As women age, women's physical fitness and reproductive function decline. And age can also affect fertility. So, for women over 40, is it still possible to have children? The following is a detailed description of the situation.
1. Age
In general, women will enter menopause around the age of 30, which is also determined by physiological factors, and this stage is also the thinnest period of the endometrium. At this time, the endometrium is only about 7-10 mm, and the implantation area of the fertilized egg is very small, if the quality of the fertilized egg is not good at this time, it is easy to lead to miscarriage or fetal malformation. Age 40 is the best age for a woman to have children. What should I do if I am over 40 years old and cannot have children? If it is an over-aged woman who wants to have children or can continue to have children, but be sure to pay attention to whether there are any abnormal phenomena before pregnancy, such as infection, so that the healthy development of the fetus can be guaranteed after pregnancy.
2. Body
Physical factors are an important factor in conception. In women over the age of 40, the function of the body decreases. If you don't get pregnant until after your menstrual period, you can have miscarriages, premature births, or even fetal malformations. If a woman is in a special age group or has children after the age of 40, miscarriages, premature births and even fetal malformations may occur. Therefore, women over the age of 40 can still have a baby.
3. Fertility
The older a woman gets, the worse her fertility becomes. Because after the age of 35, a woman's ovarian function will gradually decline, and the quality of the eggs will also decline. If you are not pregnant after the age of 40, the chance of infertility will increase a lot. And women after the age of 40 will also have a little more difficulty trying to get pregnant than at a normal age. It's normal to be too old to conceive a baby.
4. Mental state
For middle-aged women, not only do physiological changes affect the quality of eggs, mental status also affects the quality of eggs. Therefore, if there are many problems when you are young, but now you are starting to gradually have some problems, then it is possible that the woman's mental state affects the quality of the eggs. So, if women want a healthy baby, then be sure to rest more before giving birth to avoid staying up late and over-fatigued. If women are older, they must also supplement more nutrition before conception to better conceive a healthy baby. And during the preparation for pregnancy, you should also ensure that you have enough sleep and good eating habits, so that you can lay a solid foundation for you to have a healthy baby in the future. So, if you have any of these conditions, try IVF!
5. Precautions for advanced maternal mothers to give birth to children
Elderly mothers should be physically prepared before giving birth to prepare for childbirth. Elderly women should pay attention to supplementing protein, supplementing trace elements and vitamin E before giving birth, and do not overwork. Use anesthetics and drugs during childbirth. Be aware of what may happen during childbirth and do not rely too much on an obstetrician. Adhere to the use of ultrasound technology during the obstetric examination, and the doctor who does the obstetric examination will tell you what method to take according to the actual situation; When doing the obstetric test, use the pregnancy test stick to measure whether the width of the uterine opening and the thickness of the uterine lining are normal; For pregnant women without uterine contractions and discomfort, we must pay attention to whether the dosage and time are appropriate.
