Late pregnancy: why do women in Russia give birth after 30 years

Previously, the label "old-borne" put anythe lady in the position if she has passed for 25 years. Gradually, the framework was moving apart. Now he has reached 28 years old, and even the term obstetricians began to use the term extremely rarely so as not to offend future moms. Moreover, the average age of a Russian woman who decided to have a child, even if not the first, inexorably approaches this figure.A photo: GettyImage According to statistics, the oldest Russian mothers live in St. Petersburg. In the city on the Neva the average age of birth of children reached 30 years. And, according to doctors, this is not a “picture in general.” - 30 years is said to be the average temperature in a hospital. We put on record and women who came from other regions of Russia to work or study, most often they are younger than St. Petersburg women and “correct” the statistics. I would say that mothers in St. Petersburg are becoming after 32 years old, ”Anna Kondratieva, a gynecologist, explained to Woman’s Day. Moreover, this rule also applies to Moscow and other million-plus cities, where people most often come to work and study. “A delayed birth has many factors,” the prenatal psychologist Lada Korneeva is sure. - Study, career, the desire to stand up, buy an apartment, a car and the notorious Iphone. The credit burden also plays a role, and many simply don’t have any other way to acquire these “benefits of civilization”. The decree will be almost a financial collapse for the family. Residents of St. Petersburg are much more likely to travel around Europe, weekends in Finland and Estonia, low-cost flights from these countries. And now you are already watching that no one is in a hurry to acquire children abroad. Indeed, if you look at the statistics for European countries, the average age of motherhood in many has exceeded 30 years. The oldest mothers live in Spain - 31.9 years, Switzerland is second, and 31.8 years old, followed by Italy - 31.7. The youngest mothers live in Bulgaria and Romania - 27.4 and 27.7, respectively. - Another problem for women in big cities is the difficulty of finding a partner. Here and excessive demands, and leisure opportunities, inaccessible in the province. As a result, the number of single women and men is growing every year. And without a partner, to give birth to a child, as you understand, is much more difficult, ”Lada Korneeva is sure. Indeed, in small Russian cities and villages, by the age of 25, women most often have or had a husband, as well as several children. - a friend who moved to the capital from Izhevsk sadly smiled. - After thirty years, a woman, even in a big city, begins to feel the approach of old age, this feeling is growing after 35 years, priorities change, ladies think about the continuation of the race.
