In recent years, from a demographic point of view, the country liberalized the two-child policy. After that, many families around us have added a second baby, and there is a lot more laughter in the family. But now there is a phenomenon in society, that is, young couples are generally not very ideal economic strength, raising a child is still relatively easy, out of quality of life considerations, they usually do not choose to have a second child at a young age.
Instead, some couples in their early forties or even in their fifties, whose first child is already more mature and who themselves have a very solid economic foundation, have become the main group of families who are now giving birth to a second child.
Medically speaking, a woman's ovarian function begins to gradually deteriorate from the age of 35. If you give birth to a baby at this age, it may be detrimental to the baby's development, increase the risk of fetal malformation to a certain extent, and have a great harm and burden on the mother herself.
The likelihood of miscarriage and preterm labor during pregnancy is greater than that of a pregnant woman of the right age, and recovery after delivery will be more difficult. But nothing is absolute. The 60-year-old woman we're talking about today gave birth to a pair of lively, healthy twin daughters despite her doctor's objections. So now that the old lady is 70 years old, how is life going for the family?
The old woman's name is Sheng Hailin, and she had her own reasons for choosing to have a baby at the age of 60, when she should be enjoying her old age, dancing and traveling. It turns out that Sheng Hailin had a daughter before, at that time due to family planning reasons, Sheng Hailin only this one child. The couple poured all their love into their daughter, but they didn't expect an accident to take her life. While organizing their daughter's belongings, Sheng Hailin had the idea of having another child.
Sheng Hailin was originally a doctor, and although she has retired, her years of experience have taught her that she is no longer fit to have children at her age. But she still insisted on having another child for herself and her partner, and she sought medical advice everywhere, but from Shanghai to Nanjing to Hubei, everyone gave her a negative answer. Later, at a hospital in Hefei, doctors were so sympathetic after hearing Sheng Hailin's experience that they felt they respected the old man's choice.
Sheng Hailin spent the next three months in the hospital. She took injections and medicines every day to regulate her body and waited for all parameters to be adjusted to the right values before undergoing IVF. This process, Sheng Hailin and her partner spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is their life savings, but Sheng Hailin no complaints. Finally, with the couple's persistence and the doctor's efforts, 60-year-old Sheng Hailin gave birth to a pair of twin daughters. The couple regarded them as a treasure and decided to raise the children properly.
But after the children were born, they faced very real problems. The child's clothing, food, housing and transportation everywhere need money, Sheng Hailin focus on the child's education, so the early childhood education classes and high-quality kindergarten must be arranged. In order to raise her daughter, Sheng Hailin had to go back to work with her husband, and they went around giving lectures to earn money, and there was no one to take care of her at home, which required hiring a nanny and a childcare worker.
Because of this, Sheng Hailin's husband, who was already in his 60s, couldn't support himself and collapsed on the podium at one of his lectures. Since then, her husband has suffered a paralyzing stroke, and Sheng Hailin has had to raise her twin daughters and take care of her paralyzed husband, leaving her life in tatters.
A reporter later interviewed Sheng Hailin and asked her if she had another chance to choose again, would she still want to give birth to these daughters? Sheng Hailin shed tears and said, "I don't think so," after a long pause.
She had hoped to have her children with her in her old age, but if her daughter hadn't died so young, her wish would have come true. However, life is not always as it should be, and her daughter's untimely death dealt a heavy blow to the old couple. It was only that they were not rational at that time, impulsively wanting to have another child, without considering the problems that would follow. Now regret, I'm afraid it's already too late. I only hope that the daughter's tender laughter can bring some happiness to Sheng Hailin in the midst of all the chicken feathers.
