Difference between IVF and normal infants
In vitro fertilization (IVF) babies are babies who are fertilized in vitro through assisted reproductive technology, and initially cultured in the laboratory, and then implanted into the mother's body. Compared with ordinary infants, IVF will have some special needs and unique characteristics during pregnancy.
Differences in fertility demand
IVF is usually obtained by patients with infertility through assisted reproductive technology. Therefore, IVF families may have experienced a long period of infertility treatment, and have been under great psychological and emotional pressure. This makes the parents of IVF babies usually have higher expectations and concerns for their babies, and will make more efforts to care for and cultivate their children. Due to the relatively complex birth process of IVF, mothers need to pay more attention to the changes and health status of their bodies and the healthy development of their fetuses during pregnancy and early postpartum.
IVF babies often need more observation and recuperation after birth. Due to the artificial intervention of embryos, IVF may have some potential health problems, such as premature delivery, low birth weight, birth defects, etc. Therefore, these infants need more frequent health examinations and professional medical attention and intervention to ensure their growth and development.
In addition, parents of IVF usually have special expectations for educating and cultivating their children. They may pay more attention to children's intelligence and learning ability, and provide more educational resources and opportunities. This makes them have higher expectations and requirements for children's growth and education, and will also invest more energy and resources in the education process.
Differences in medical care
IVF babies need more frequent and professional medical care before and after birth. In the process of IVF, the mother needs to experience the treatment of assisted reproductive technology, including hormone therapy, ovulation monitoring, egg collection, etc. These treatment processes need strict medical monitoring and professional doctor guidance, as well as relevant medical examinations and surgical operations.
IVF also needs closer medical attention during pregnancy. The doctor will conduct regular prenatal examination according to the condition of the fetus, including B ultrasound, NST, etc., to monitor the growth and development of the fetus. At the same time, doctors will also pay attention to the mother's physical changes and health conditions to ensure the safety of mother and child.
Differences in spirit and social environment
Parents of IVF babies may face greater psychological and emotional pressure. They may worry about their children's health problems and their impact on their families, so their care and care for children may be more careful and prudent. In addition, the birth process of IVF is often a miracle that has experienced many hardships and waiting, which makes the family closer in parent-child relationship and family ties, and more cherish the existence of children.
The birth of IVF may also attract the attention and curiosity of society and people around, which makes the IVF family more strong and confident when facing the eyes of the outside world. At the same time, parents need to face the comparison and judgment of other parents, and need to be more broad-minded and rational.
Summary
Compared with ordinary infants, IVF has obvious differences in reproductive needs, medical care, mental and social environment. The parents of IVF babies often experience a long period of infertility treatment, have higher expectations and concerns for their children, and need more efforts to care for and cultivate their children. Medically, IVF babies need to receive more frequent and professional medical care to ensure their health and development. In terms of mental and social environment, the parents of IVF may bear more pressure, but they will also cherish the existence of their children and have closer family relations. The birth of IVF may also attract social attention, and parents need to have stronger psychological quality and coping ability. By understanding these differences, we can better understand and respect the special needs of IVF and its families.
