面对“高龄产妇”这支日渐庞大的队伍，全国政协委员、全国工商联美容化妆品业商会副会长张晓梅深有感触。今年两会期间，她正打算提交一份《强化女性育龄期国家责任，鼓励黄金育龄期正常生育》的提案。她告诉《生命时报》记者，上世纪90年代，中国35岁以上初次生育高龄产妇仅为2%；到2006年，这比例翻了一番；时至今日，像北京、上海、深圳等城市已高达10%以上。“选择延迟育龄或不育的人群，多为城市精英，这对今后中国人口质量会有怎样的影响，值得我们认真考虑。加拿大加华月子中心给您建议。
25—30岁生孩子最好
那么，到底多少岁是女人生育的“黄金期”呢？上海交通大学附属第一医院产科主任徐先明告诉记者，如果从纯生物学上来说，25岁左右是女性最佳生育年龄，这时子宫颈管弹性好，容易扩张，子宫肌肉收缩有足够力量，容易平安分娩。如果结合社会、心理因素考虑，女人最理想的生育年龄则在25—30岁，这时女性的心理、生理已十分成熟，最适合孕育宝宝。一旦跨入35岁，就算是高龄产妇了，不仅受孕机会变小，自然流产率也大幅增加。
在北京大学附属第三医院生殖医学中心，每天都会接待各地不孕不育的女性近千人，在每年27万人次的门诊中，因为超龄导致不孕的就占了10%左右。该院妇产科主任、生殖医学中心主任乔杰说，很多人年轻时因工作忙没顾上要孩子，年纪大了想要却怀不上了。如果仅靠自然受孕，时间不等人，而且年龄越大危险越多，所以最终决定为她们采取体外受精的方式，做了试管婴儿。
高龄产妇要迈过几道坎
30岁后生孩子，总有点背水一战的感觉，似乎每个时刻都得小心翼翼。是什么原因让这么多女性错失生育“黄金期“，一不留神成了大龄产妇呢？
张晓梅委员因为长期从事女性工作，接触了众多女性，她发现，“很多人谈恋爱困难、结婚晚、工作压力大，怕不能给孩子好的生活环境，有的则想再过几年轻松的二人世界，不希望为孩子所累，致使‘生育大计’最终被搁浅。”这也是她撰写今年两会提案最主要的原因。“社会竞争激烈，育龄女性感觉到因离开职场而被取代的惶恐，让她们被动放弃了正常的生命繁衍权。此外，我国现行生育保险制度也存在一定问题，女性生产后职场和社会角色回归的保障十分薄弱，都造成生孩子越来越晚。”
虽然高龄产妇在生理上不是绝对的“高危人群”，但几位专家承认，比起年轻准妈妈，她们在孕育中确实可能遇到更多的麻烦：首先，女性随着年龄增大，排卵越来越不规律，30岁以后受孕几率大大下降。其次，随着年龄增大，阴道弹性也随之降低，特别是子宫颈管较难张开、子宫肌肉收缩力减弱，流产或难产风险增大。第三，孕妇年龄越大，发生妊娠高血压、妊娠糖尿病等的几率就越高，轻者引发水肿、头痛，重者会危害孕妇和胎儿生命。最后，数据显示，高龄产妇占到忧郁症产妇的70%以上。大龄产妇对妊娠反应也较为敏感，往往孕吐剧烈，产后体能恢复比不上年轻产妇。更严重的，是高龄生产给宝宝带来风险。年龄一大，卵子易过最佳“保质期”，造成质量下降、受精时染色体异常几率变高等问题，都会导致胎儿致畸率增高。

</a> CLOSE GUANTANAMO NOW. PROSECUTE THESE GUYS IN THE OPEN AND QUIT LOWERING AMERICAN VALUES TO THE TERRORISTS LEVELS BY USING CLANDISTINE AND MILITARY INCARCERATION FACILITIES IN ORDER TO USE QUESTIONBLE INTEROGATION TECHNIQUES TO GET INFORMATION OUT OF THEM. THIS SEEMS MORE A GAME BY REPUBLICANS TO KEEP THE GUANTANAMO FACILITY OPEN. Abu Anas has been indicted in a New York federal court and that is where he should be tried. Very few of those charged with offenses and being tried by the military tribunals have been convicted in the decade since 9/11. Those terrorist processed through the justice system in federal court have seen over 90% conviction rate. What seems to be the problem with Republicans that they are so adverse to speedy and fair justice being render in these terrorist cases??? It is costing taxpayers millions and millions of dollars to continue to operate Guantanamo with a very poor return on our money. It is a fiscal anchor on the Pentagon budget and does considerable damage to American prestige through out the world. There is absolutely no credible intelligence coming from these detainees after a decade of incarceration and virtually no contact with the outside world. Republican legislators need to do a reality check on what America’s immediate priorities are all about. I am quite sure the majority of Americans, like me, would be more that satisfied to see these terrorist tried, convicted and put in prison for the rest of their lives or whatever just sentence is handed down by the court.
