What should be paid attention to in vitro baby health problems
IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can enable couples who cannot conceive naturally to realize their dream of establishing a family. However, there are some health problems during IVF that need special attention. This article will elaborate on these issues from four aspects: preparation before pregnancy, pregnancy, delivery and neonatal period.
1、 Preparation before pregnancy
The pre pregnancy preparation of IVF is very important, which is crucial to the healthy development of embryos. First, before choosing hospitals and experts, couples should have a detailed understanding of the qualifications and conditions of hospitals. Make sure to choose a formal IVF specialist hospital, which can improve the success rate and reduce the risk.
Secondly, couples need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination, including genetic disease screening and reproductive system examination. These tests can help doctors assess the health of couples and predict possible risks. If there is a family history of genetic defects or genetic diseases, couples need to consult genetic experts to assess the risks and make appropriate decisions.
Finally, couples need psychological guidance. The IVF process may be a journey with greater psychological pressure for couples. Psychological counselors can help them cope with anxiety and pressure and maintain a positive attitude.
2、 Pregnancy
The health problems of IVF during pregnancy also need special attention. First of all, in the early stage of pregnancy, couples need to regularly go to the hospital for prenatal inspection to ensure the normal development of embryos, and early detection and treatment of possible problems.
Secondly, pregnant women need to pay attention to diet and nutrition intake. A balanced diet can provide sufficient nutrients and promote the normal development of the fetus. In addition, couples need to avoid smoking, drinking and excessive exposure to harmful substances to ensure the health of the fetus.
Finally, pregnant women should follow the doctor's advice and take pregnancy supplements such as folic acid and vitamin D on time. These nutrients are essential for the normal development of embryos and fetuses.
3、 Delivery
The process of IVF delivery is similar to that of natural delivery, but there may be some subtle differences that need attention. First, pregnant women may need to have a caesarean section. A caesarean section is an operation in which the fetus is removed by cutting through the abdomen. The mother of test tube baby may choose caesarean section to reduce the impact of delivery on embryonic health.
Secondly, both mother and baby need to be closely observed after delivery. The doctor will carry out a post natal examination on the puerpera to ensure her recovery. For newborns, doctors will conduct a comprehensive examination to ensure that their bodies and organs develop normally.
Finally, breastfeeding is very important for the health of IVF. Breast milk is rich in nutrients and antibodies, which can enhance the immunity of infants. Therefore, mothers should try to choose breastfeeding and follow the doctor's instructions.
4、 Neonatal period
After IVF babies are born, they still need to pay special attention to their health. First of all, newborns need to receive regular inspection from pediatricians to ensure their normal growth and development, and timely find and deal with possible problems.
Secondly, the diet and nursing of newborns need special attention. Mothers should provide enough breast milk or proper amount of formula milk powder to meet the nutritional needs of infants. In addition, baby care includes keeping clean, bathing regularly and wearing suitable clothes.
Finally, parents of newborns need to pay attention to their mental health. Taking care of IVF babies may be a challenge for parents, who may face anxiety, stress and loneliness. Therefore, they should support each other and seek professional psychological consultation and support.
Summary
The health problems of test tube babies should be paid attention to from four aspects: pre pregnancy preparation, pregnancy, delivery and neonatal period. By selecting formal hospitals and experts, conducting comprehensive physical examination and genetic disease screening, and conducting psychological counseling, the success rate and risk prevention can be improved. During pregnancy, couples need to have regular prenatal examination, pay attention to diet and nutrition intake, and follow the doctor's advice. Cesarean section may be required during delivery, and the health of mother and baby needs to be closely observed. In the neonatal period, infants need regular paediatric examination, proper diet and care, and parents need to pay attention to their own mental health. By paying attention to the above aspects, we can ensure the healthy and smooth development of IVF.
