In recent years, high birth rate is no longer rare. According to the latest "Population Dynamics Statistics (2024)" of Japan's Ministry of Health and Health, there are about 45,200 women over the age of 40 in the country, of which 1,733 are more than 45 years old. A survey by the Japanese Humanities Association also pointed out that the proportion of production over the age of 35 has exceeded 30% of the total.
experts said that late marriage and late birth have gradually made "hyperplasia" more regular. Although hyperplasia means that parents often have more economic conditions, it is also accompanied by higher maternal and fetal risks, including miscarriage, pregnancy hypertension, diabetes, and neonatal chromatography abnormalities. "Social no longer has specially labeled high-age women, but medical risks and psychological pressures do exist."
In addition to self-desired choices, many high-age pregnancy are actually "pre-profile". Since contraceptive methods in Japan are still mainly condoms and the popularity of oral contraceptive drugs is low, many women mistakenly think that "they will not get pregnant again" after the age of 40, which leads to accidental conception.
Sako and his son are in the same classThere is a real case in Japan where a 47-year-old woman is raising her 2-year-old son alone. But in her life, there are two children who have already started a family, a 28-year-old daughter and a 27-year-old son. She became a mother at the age of 20, and after divorce, she grew up with a child and even hugged her.
"I didn't expect to get pregnant unexpectedly at the age of 45. At that time, I had a sluggish relationship with my 10-year-old boyfriend, and I was also intimate with other men because of my low feelings. I even didn't know who the child's father was." She admitted that she had considered artificial abortion after she was pregnant, but at the moment when she heard the fetus' heartbeat, she decided to give birth.
But her decision also put the family in a rift. Because in the same year, my daughter was pregnant. As a result, they became "mother's son" and "daughter's child" became classmates, even classmates. "My daughter and her son begged me not to give birth, and even ended up with me because of this. I knew it was my fault for not doing a good job of contraceptives, but I really couldn't give up at that time." She said that although she was enjoying the innocent love of her 2-year-old son, she also suffered from the loneliness of being separated from her children.
The medical risk is not only for high-age pregnancyIn addition, she also said that although her son is very cute, it feels completely different from the feeling of taking a child when she is young, and her physical strength feels even more tight and she often feels lonely. Experts remind that high aging pregnancy is not only a physical challenge, but may also lead to psychological and family impacts. Experts point out: "Rebirth at such ages often leads to generational misunderstandings with the family, such as playing mother and grandmother at the same time, which leads to role confusion. In addition to medical support, it is more important to accompany and understand and companionship with family."
In the society where high aging pregnancy is increasingly common, there is no standard answer for every choice. My mother's life is her own, but the emotions of her family are also real. How to balance risks, responsibilities and friendships is still a subject that many families have to face.
