It is recommended that senior women preparing for their second child need to be well prepared in terms of “body, mind, money and people (helpers)”. First of all, you should plan your life after the arrival of your second child, think about the difficulties and make sure that you will not encounter any major financial problems. Second, seek help from a reproductive medicine specialist as soon as possible to find out your “fertility”. Again, according to the doctor’s instructions, do all the pre-conception tests strictly and carefully. If you are found to have contraindications, you should not blindly risk becoming a mother. Finally, after successfully conceiving a baby, you should be closely monitored by your doctor to guard against the threat of high blood pressure and diabetes during pregnancy. The first hurdle is the body’s bottom “If you feel breast lumps, or suffer from estrogen-related diseases, poor liver and kidney function, or high blood lipids, you cannot receive assisted reproduction treatment until the disease is cured.” Women with high blood lipids have a spiked risk of blood clots when stimulated by high levels of estrogen. The second hurdle complications These ultra-advanced pregnant women have a significantly higher risk of developing complications such as gestational diabetes and hypertension than those of normal reproductive age. The third hurdle is childbirth. For women in their 70s, it’s like running a marathon and there are significant risks associated with having a surgical delivery by C-section, including the risk of anesthesia and major blood loss. The fourth concern is the health of the baby. Children born to mothers of advanced age have a higher risk of birth defects such as Down syndrome (congenital stupidity). The fifth hurdle is the financial burden. The financial burden associated with giving birth at an advanced age cannot be underestimated. “In general, the cost of using ‘test-tube baby’ technology, a cycle will cost about 30,000 yuan, with imported drugs will be more expensive than domestic drugs.” The sixth hurdle childcare The older a mother is when she sits for the month, the more physically overwhelmed she is. If there is no one to help take care of the baby, compared to normal mothers of childbearing age, super-aged mothers recover more slowly and with more psychological stress. Without the assistance of family and friends, and if they are not mentally strong enough, tragedy may result.
