Introduction
In recent years, with the development of society and the improvement of women's professional status, more and more women choose to consider childbearing after achieving certain achievements in their careers. Especially for female stars in the entertainment industry, the phenomenon of advanced maternal age is particularly common. Not only do they have to work hard in their careers, but they also need to maintain their figure and appearance, which is a great challenge for them, both physically and psychologically.

Ying Caier talked about the physical changes of giving birth to a second child at an advanced age, and her emotions collapsed
I watched a video about Ying Caier's interview on the show, she talked about the physical changes of having a second child at an advanced age, and her emotions collapsed for a while.
She said that now when she takes her youngest son Hoho, she often feels powerless, and low back pain has become commonplace, and she feels that she is a teenager all of a sudden.
Once, she accidentally injured her lumbar spine, and it took several days for the pain to recover. And when I gave birth to my eldest son, Jasper, at the right age, I didn't feel tired and powerless at all.
In addition, Chen Xiaochun is rarely at home due to work, and the responsibility of taking care of the two children almost falls on Ying Caier's shoulders. In this regard, many netizens said: It is not easy for every mother, especially elderly mothers.

Older women are at much higher risk of giving birth than women of appropriate age
In medicine, primiparous women aged 35 years and older are often referred to as advanced maternal age. After the age of 35, women's physical fitness, especially in terms of fertility, will plummet. The secretion of progesterone and estrogen decreases, which has a great impact on fertility.
Although modern medical technology is developed and can reduce the risk of childbirth in advanced maternal age to a certain extent, some risks still cannot be completely avoided.
The risk of preterm birth and dystocia increases
As women age, their physical fitness declines, and the secretion of progesterone and estrogen decreases, which not only leads to difficulties in pregnancy, but also may face the risk of premature birth, miscarriage and dystocia after a successful pregnancy. Older women have much weaker contraction capacity than women of appropriate age, so they are more likely to have dystocia during natural delivery.
Slow postpartum recovery
The decline in physical fitness can also lead to a slower postpartum recovery in older mothers. Whether it is the recovery of the caesarean section wound or the confinement time after a normal birth, it is possible that it will be prolonged due to the decline in physical fitness. In addition, the drop in hormone levels can also affect postpartum breastfeeding and body recovery.
Prone to postpartum depression
Postpartum depression is not limited to older mothers, but they are at relatively higher risk. Factors such as physical trauma, slow recovery from body shape, and family incomprehension, coupled with the hard work of taking care of the child, may lead to postpartum depression symptoms.

Precautions for advanced maternal age during pregnancy
Although there are many risks associated with advanced maternal age, these risks can be mitigated with proper pregnancy management and preparation to ensure a smooth delivery and postpartum recovery.
Be mindful of what you eat
Diet during pregnancy is especially important for advanced maternal age. Be nutritionally balanced and avoid spicy, raw and cold foods. According to their own nutritional needs, supplement protein and trace elements. Before pregnancy and early pregnancy, folic acid can be taken to ensure the nutrition of the fetus and prevent the occurrence of certain diseases.
Regular prenatal check-ups
Regular prenatal check-ups are essential for advanced maternal age. Through prenatal checkups, you can understand the development of the fetus and screen for diseases such as Down syndrome. At the same time, it can also monitor the mother's own health status, such as whether the pregnancy is normal, whether the hormone secretion level is normal, etc. Timely prenatal check-up, early detection and early treatment are important measures to avoid risks.
Maintain good lifestyle habits
Good lifestyle habits have a great impact on the health of elderly women during pregnancy. Go to bed early and get up early to avoid staying up late; Stay away from alcohol and smoking, and try not to use cosmetics, especially harmful substances such as nail polish. You can usually participate in more physical exercise, jogging in the early stage of pregnancy, and more gentle exercises such as yoga for pregnant women in the middle and late stages.
A message from Guo's mother
It is true that the challenges and risks faced by elderly mothers in the process of childbirth are higher than those of appropriate mothers, but these risks can be effectively reduced through scientific pregnancy management and good lifestyle habits. As a mother, especially an elderly mother, you need to put in more energy and patience, but as long as you deal with it scientifically, you can smoothly welcome the arrival of a new life.
