Why is it difficult to get pregnant when you are older? How can older pregnant women prepare for pregnancy?

Elderly pregnant women are not only called elderly pregnant women when giving birth to their second child, but also refer to women who are 35 years old and above and have never given birth. Elderly pregnant women are more dangerous than other pregnant women, and there are many things to pay attention to.

1. Decreased ovarian reserve This is what we call a decrease in the number of functional follicles in the ovaries. As women age, the number of follicles will continue to decrease, and early menopause will accelerate this process.

2. Changes in menstrual cycle When a woman is getting closer to menopause, her menstrual cycle will become irregular and shorter. Relatively speaking, this will also cause the timing of conception to become irregular, so it will become increasingly difficult to get pregnant.

3. The thinning of the endometrium. As women age, their endometrial mucosa will become thinner and thinner, which will make it difficult for the fertilized egg to attach to the uterine wall and reduce the chance of successful conception.

4. Vaginal secretions: Women’s vaginal secretions are the body’s natural protection mechanism, and with age, the secretions will be discharged more densely, which will be very unfavorable to sperm activity, making it difficult to fertilize.

5. Reproductive system diseases Certain diseases, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome and chlamydia, can affect the reproductive organs over time or without immediate treatment. These diseases can make it difficult to conceive.

6. Because of chronic diseases, many chronic diseases have a negative impact on fertility, such as overweight, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. These diseases will make it difficult for women to conceive successfully.

1. Get a health check before pregnancy. Older pregnant women are more likely to have physical abnormalities than younger pregnant women, so both older women and their husbands must have a comprehensive health check to completely cure any existing diseases and bring their bodies to optimal condition before they can conceive.

2. Get enough sleep. Good sleep can not only enhance immunity, but also enhance the functions of tissues and organs, so that the reproductive system can form high-quality fertilized eggs.

3. Ensure adequate nutrition. High-quality and adequate nutrition can improve the quality of eggs, so older women should do a good job of nutritional reserve. Every day, older women should eat more foods with high protein content such as milk, eggs, lean meat, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits.

1. Eat high-nutrition foods appropriately When preparing for pregnancy, older women should eat some high-protein and low-fat high-nutrition foods to strengthen their physique. The most effective way to improve women's complexion is to eat well.

2. Adjust the diet structure Everyone has their own taste, and older women are no exception. However, in order to successfully conceive, older women still need to adjust their diet structure and make the combination of meat and vegetables more reasonable. When preparing for pregnancy, older women should eat more coarse grains and green foods, and avoid eating raw and cold foods, which will help improve the success rate of preparing for pregnancy.

3. Diet to warm the uterus Severe uterine coldness is not conducive to pregnancy, because a cold uterus is not conducive to the fetus's habitation and can easily cause miscarriage. If older women have uterine coldness, they should pay attention to their diet and eat more nuts and warm foods such as mutton, which can warm the uterus.

1. Reduce stress in life Stress can lead to many health problems, as well as irregular menstruation, infertility and other problems. Therefore, whether you want to have children or not, you should reduce your stress level.

2. Maintain a healthy weight Women often feel that they are too fat and keep losing weight. However, whether they are overweight or underweight, it will affect fertility. Therefore, maintaining a healthy weight range is the best way to promote pregnancy.

3. Eat healthy foods. Many foods can help improve fertility, such as oysters, nuts, milk, pumpkin, avocado, olive oil, etc. You can eat more of these foods in your daily diet to help improve fertility.

4. Stay away from toxic substances Some substances can affect the ability to conceive, such as cigarettes, alcohol, chemicals, etc. Therefore, you should stay away from secondhand smoke, alcohol, and working environments with toxic chemicals.
