Is Planned Abdominal Delivery Necessary for IVF?
IVF is conceived by implanting embryos into the mother's body after in vitro culture of fertilized eggs through assisted reproductive technology. With the development of modern medical technology, IVF has become a blessing for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, whether IVF must be delivered by planed abdomen has been controversial. This issue will be elaborated from several aspects below.
Necessity of abdominal planning
First of all, it needs to be clear that not all IVF babies must be delivered through abdominal planning. In fact, most IVF babies can be born successfully through natural childbirth. Planed abdominal delivery is a delivery mode that can only be used under certain special circumstances.
When IVF suffers from health problems of both mother and baby, such as placental abruption or preeclampsia, doctors may recommend planned abdominal delivery. In these cases, natural childbirth may pose a higher risk to both mothers and babies. Through planed abdominal delivery, the operation process can be better controlled to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
In addition, for test tube babies with multiple fetuses, abdominal planning is also often chosen as the mode of delivery. Due to the difficulty of multiple births, natural childbirth may lead to fetal distress, placental abruption and other complications. These risks can be greatly reduced by planed abdominal birth to ensure that multiple births can be properly cared for at birth.
Feasibility of other delivery methods
In addition to planned delivery, IVF babies can also choose other delivery methods. Among them, natural childbirth is the most common choice. Natural delivery does not require surgical intervention, which can reduce the surgical trauma and recovery time caused by abdominal planning.
However, although technologies such as delayed ligation or umbilical cord prolapse have made natural delivery more feasible for IVF, there are still some risks. For example, large fetal sac, poor fetal head position and other factors may lead to difficulties in natural delivery. In this case, the doctor may choose to use obstetric forceps or suction devices and other auxiliary tools for delivery, so as to avoid the need of abdominal planning as much as possible.
Risk and consideration of planed abdominal delivery
Although planed birth is necessary for the delivery of some test tube babies, it is still an operation with certain risks.
The planed abdominal birth requires continuous anesthesia, which may lead to postoperative respiratory difficulties, postoperative infection and other complications. There are also potential risks of bleeding and organ damage during surgery. In addition, planed abdominal delivery also has a longer recovery time for pregnant women, which will affect their daily life and childcare ability.
Therefore, when considering whether to carry out planed abdominal delivery, doctors will consider the specific conditions of both mother and baby, and weigh the advantages and disadvantages. They will determine the most appropriate mode of delivery through detailed pregnancy monitoring and evaluation and comprehensive indicators to maximize the protection of maternal and infant health.
summary
In conclusion, IVF does not have to be delivered by abdominal planning. For most IVF babies, natural delivery is a feasible option. However, in some special cases, such as health problems of both mother and baby or multiple pregnancy, it may be necessary to have planned abdominal delivery. The doctor will comprehensively consider the specific situation of the mother and baby and choose the most suitable delivery mode to ensure the safety and health of the mother and baby.
