What physical problems should we pay attention to in vitro babies?
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to fertility barriers to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, IVF babies may face some physical problems after birth, which need special attention and treatment. The following will be elaborated in detail from four aspects: pre pregnancy preparation, pregnancy, fetal development and postnatal.
Preparation period before pregnancy
Before receiving IVF treatment, couples need to conduct a comprehensive physical examination and assessment to understand potential genetic diseases and other health problems. If the risk of genetic disease is found, the doctor may recommend genetic counseling. In addition, couples also need to conduct psychological assessment to ensure that they have sufficient psychological preparation to meet the challenges of IVF.
At the same time, women also need to carry out weight control and health management during the pre pregnancy preparation period to ensure the best physical condition. Women should avoid smoking, drinking and using drugs or other harmful substances, which may have adverse effects on embryonic development.
In addition, attention should be paid to maintaining good living habits, such as balanced diet, moderate exercise and pressure control, to increase the success rate of IVF and reduce potential physical problems.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy is the most critical stage of IVF fetal development, which requires special attention and careful care. Pregnant women need regular prenatal examination during pregnancy to ensure the health of the fetus. Especially in the first three months, try to avoid the influence of various potential harmful factors, such as X-ray and other radiological examinations, and avoid contacting chemicals and drugs.
In addition, pregnant women also need to pay special attention to their own nutrition intake to ensure adequate nutrition for the development of the fetus. Doctors may recommend that pregnant women take folic acid, vitamin D and other nutrients, and avoid excessive caffeine and drinks.
During pregnancy, strenuous exercise and overwork should also be avoided to avoid adverse effects on the fetus. At the same time, we should pay attention to the prevention of infectious diseases and maintain good health habits.
Fetal development
There may be some problems during the development of IVF fetus in the uterus, which need close attention and timely treatment. Problems that may occur during fetal development include premature delivery, low birth weight and congenital malformations. These problems may be related to the mother's lifestyle, nutrition intake, weight control and other factors.
In order to reduce the risk of fetal development problems, pregnant women should follow the doctor's advice for regular prenatal examination, and carry out daily life and diet management according to the requirements of the doctor's guidance. In addition, pregnant women should also follow the doctor's advice to carry out necessary fetal screening and diagnostic tests to detect and deal with potential problems as early as possible.
If problems are found during fetal development, doctors may take appropriate medical interventions to promote normal fetal development.
After birth
After IVF babies are born, they need to pay special attention to their growth and health. Some IVF babies may face health problems such as birth defects, immune system problems and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Therefore, in the early postnatal period, doctors will conduct a comprehensive physical examination and evaluation of IVF, as well as necessary blood and genetic tests. In addition, the child's parents should also take the child to the hospital for health examination on a regular basis to ensure that any potential health problems are found and dealt with in a timely manner.
To sum up, in terms of physical problems, IVF needs to pay special attention to the four stages of pre pregnancy preparation, pregnancy, fetal development and post birth. Through scientific inspection and management, IVF babies can overcome potential physical problems and ensure their healthy growth.
