The Influence of IVF on Parents' Emotion
IVF is a method to help infertile couples achieve fertility through in vitro fertilization. The emergence of this method has changed the fate of couples who cannot conceive naturally, but it has also brought some special emotional effects. This article will elaborate on the influence of IVF on parents' emotions from four aspects: parents' psychological pressure, parent-child relationship, family and social support, and children's life growth.
1、 Psychological pressure of parents
For infertile couples, IVF is the last glimmer of hope for them to realize their own children, so they are under great psychological pressure in the whole process. The first is the worry about the success of the treatment, the worry about the failure of surgery or the failure of embryo implantation. Secondly, they worry about the uncertainty of their future as parents, whether they are able to take care of their children, and whether the parent-child relationship with their children is good. These psychological pressures will inevitably have an impact on parents' emotional state.
However, it should be noted that such psychological pressure can be relieved through appropriate psychological guidance. The hospital can provide one-on-one psychological counseling services to help couples cope with emotional problems, enhance their psychological quality, and achieve better adaptability.
2、 Parent-child relationship
The birth mode of IVF is different from that of natural pregnancy, which may have some special effects on parent-child relationship. First, the artificial intervention in the reproductive process may have a certain impact on the sense of kinship between parents and children. Parents may doubt the biological nature of their children, which may bring some negative effects to the parent-child relationship.
In addition, the birth of IVF babies is often accompanied by higher economic costs and social concerns, and parents may face greater pressure when taking care of their children. They need to work harder to maintain a good parent-child relationship to ensure the healthy growth of their children.
However, no matter how IVF comes to this world, the true love between parents and children cannot be counterfeited. Through joint efforts and the establishment of a stable parent-child relationship, parents and IVF can establish an intimate and harmonious relationship as natural pregnancy.
3、 Family and social support
The birth of IVF is a time-consuming and painstaking process, which requires mutual support and encouragement between husband and wife. In the face of difficulties and setbacks, the support of family and friends is extremely important. Their understanding and encouragement are crucial for couples' emotional support.
In addition, social support is also needed by IVF families. The government and social organizations can provide financial assistance, legal protection and relevant education and training to help these families better cope with the emotional impact of IVF. Hospitals and professionals should also provide comprehensive services, including consultation, treatment and rehabilitation, so that couples can successfully go through the whole process of IVF.
4、 Children's life growth
In terms of health and growth, IVF is not very different from naturally pregnant children. They also need the love and care of their parents, as well as a harmonious and happy family environment to grow up.
However, the birth mode of IVF may cause children to face some special challenges. They may face comments and questions from their peers, and even self identification confusion. Therefore, parents need to pay special attention to children's mental health, and provide necessary support and encouragement to help children establish positive self-identity and self-esteem.
Summary
The influence of IVF on parents' emotion is mainly reflected in psychological pressure, parent-child relationship, family and social support, and children's life growth. Although the birth mode of IVF is different from that of natural pregnancy, the love between parents and children is real. Through appropriate psychological guidance, the establishment of parent-child relationship, family and social support, reasonable education and training and other measures, IVF families can create a harmonious and happy environment and promote the emotional exchange and growth between parents and children.
