The Influence of IVF on Couple's Emotion
As an important achievement of modern medicine, IVF has brought good news to many couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, the arrival of IVF may also have an impact on the couple's feelings. This article will elaborate on the impact of IVF on the relationship between husband and wife from four aspects: psychological pressure, family dynamics, parent-child relationship and economic pressure.
Psychological pressure
The treatment and waiting process of IVF may bring great psychological pressure to couples. First, couples need to go through a series of careful examinations and treatments, which may cause pain and anxiety. In addition, in the process of IVF, couples may face the possibility of failure, because not all IVF babies can succeed. Such failure will bring great pain and loss to couples, and have a certain negative impact on their feelings.
In addition, once couples successfully usher in IVF, they will also face new pressure. The responsibility and pressure of childcare may make couples feel exhausted and lose their attention and communication with each other. Even in the process of taking care of children, couples may disagree, resulting in contradictions and conflicts.
Therefore, couples need to support each other and strengthen communication and understanding in the process of IVF. At the same time, it is also very important to seek professional psychological guidance.
Family dynamics
The influence of IVF on husband and wife's feelings is also reflected in family dynamics. The arrival of IVF means that couples have entered the life stage of a family of three from the world of two. This change may bring some troubles to the relationship between husband and wife.
First, couples need to adapt to their new roles as parents and learn how to establish close ties with their babies. This process may be smooth for some people, but it may be confusing and self-confident for others. For some mothers, they may feel isolated and depressed because mothers bear more pressure in childcare. Such inequality may have an impact on the relationship between husband and wife.
In addition, IVF may also change the time and energy allocation between couples. Sometimes, couples may find that they cannot spend time alone as they did in the past, leading to a weakening of their intimate relationship. The increase of housework, childcare and work load will also lead to estrangement between husband and wife.
Parent-child relationship
The influence of IVF on the feelings of husband and wife is also reflected in the parent-child relationship between husband and wife and children. For IVF babies, their birth mode may be different from that of naturally conceived children, which may affect their identity and self-esteem.
IVF babies may face challenges and discrimination from their peers and society, which may lead to a sense of inferiority. Couples need to establish a warm, inclusive and understanding family environment for their children, help them establish correct self-identity, and thus protect their self-esteem and self-confidence.
In addition, couples also need to establish close relationships with their children in response to the unique birth mode of IVF. They need to pay attention to their children's emotional needs, and have in-depth communication and trust building with their children. Such parent-child relationship is very important for the growth of children and the stability of families.
Economic pressure
The economic pressure during IVF may also have an impact on the relationship between couples. The cost of IVF treatment is usually high, which may be an important financial burden for some families. In order to raise the cost of treatment, couples may need to cut other expenses, and may even encounter some financial difficulties.
Economic stress is often accompanied by anxiety, quarrel and dissatisfaction, which may have a negative impact on the relationship between couples. Couples need to understand and support each other under economic pressure, face difficulties together, and find appropriate solutions. Couples can seek help from relatives and friends or communicate with the hospital to find out whether there is a targeted fee reduction policy or support plan.
Summary
Test tube babies have a complex and far-reaching impact on the feelings of couples. Psychological pressure, family dynamics, parent-child relationship and economic pressure may have a negative impact on the relationship between husband and wife. However, couples can meet these challenges through mutual understanding and support, full communication and reasonable allocation of responsibilities, so as to promote the healthy development of husband wife relationship.
