Effects of IVF on Mother's Body
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a method of transferring fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus to achieve pregnancy. This technology provides a chance for some couples who cannot conceive naturally to become parents. However, IVF may have some effects on the mother's body.
1. Hormone regulation
IVF needs hormone therapy to promote ovarian ovulation and increase the probability of pregnancy. These hormones may affect the hormone levels of mothers. Hormone therapy may lead to the increase of estrogen and progesterone in women's body to help ovarian development and ovulation. This hormone regulation may cause some discomfort, such as mood fluctuations, weight changes and breast swelling.
During IVF, the mother may need to inject some hormone drugs to stimulate the ovary. These drugs may cause mild discomfort, such as pain, bruises or local swelling at the injection site. Although these discomfort are usually temporary, mothers still need to use and manage these drugs correctly under the guidance of doctors.
Hormone therapy and rapid changes in hormones may have an impact on the mother's mood. Some women may experience emotional fluctuations, anxiety and depression during IVF. At this time, the support of family members and doctors becomes particularly important. Psychological counseling and support groups can help mothers adjust their emotions.
2. Change of physical condition
After a successful IVF pregnancy, the mother's body will experience a series of changes. During pregnancy, the mother's uterus expands to accommodate the developing fetus. This may cause mother to feel abdominal discomfort and pain.
During pregnancy, the mother's body needs additional nutrition to meet the needs of the fetus. Mothers may experience increased appetite, weight gain, and altered appetite. In order to ensure a healthy pregnancy, mothers need to control their food intake reasonably and take in balanced nutrition.
IVF pregnancy may increase the risk of maternal complications such as gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension. This requires the mother to carry out regular prenatal examination during pregnancy, and pay close attention to the changes in weight and blood pressure. If any abnormality is found, timely medical treatment is the key.
3. Psychological influence
IVF is a long and hard journey for mothers. During IVF, mothers may experience pessimism, disappointment and anxiety. The failure of each experiment will bring a blow to the mother, and even make her doubt her own ability.
However, once she succeeds in pregnancy, her mood often becomes cheerful and excited. She will usher in a special pregnancy, filled with expectations and hope. At this time, the support of family and friends becomes more important, and they can help mother maintain a positive attitude.
Mothers also need to face social pressure and moral problems related to IVF. Sometimes they may be questioned and criticized by others. Therefore, mothers need to believe in their decisions and look at IVF from a positive perspective.
4. Clinical management
IVF needs to accept a series of clinical management measures to ensure the health of mother and fetus. This includes monthly prenatal examination, ultrasound examination, blood test and vitamin supplementation.
Mothers may also need special medical guidance and care during IVF pregnancy. For example, she may need to take vitamin and mineral supplements during pregnancy to ensure the nutrients needed for fetal development. She may also need to follow a special diet and exercise program to maintain a healthy pregnancy.
In addition, mothers also need to have regular ultrasound examinations to monitor fetal development and take necessary measures to solve any potential problems. It should be emphasized that these clinical management measures are to ensure the health of mothers and fetuses, and mothers need to actively cooperate with the guidance of doctors.
Summary
IVF has a certain impact on the mother's body. Hormone regulation may cause emotional fluctuations and physical discomfort. During pregnancy, the mother's body will undergo a series of changes, and she needs to pay more attention to nutrition and health. At the same time, the IVF process may have an impact on the mother's psychology. She needs to actively face and adjust her emotions.
