Effects of IVF on mother and fetus

IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. This technology has a series of effects on both mothers and fetuses, both psychologically and physically. The influence of IVF on mother and fetus will be described in detail from four aspects below.

1. Psychological influence

The process of IVF is often a difficult and emotional period for mothers. First of all, whether for infertile couples or couples who want to get pregnant again, the fact that they cannot conceive naturally will bring great psychological pressure. IVF programs usually require multiple attempts to succeed, and each failure will increase the pain and anxiety of couples. In addition, for women, hormone therapy may cause emotional fluctuations and affect their mental health. However, once the IVF process is successful, the mother's psychological state may be improved. They will feel satisfied and happy because they have finally welcomed their long-awaited baby. After the IVF process, many mothers have become more strong and optimistic.

2. Physiological effects

The physiological effects of IVF on mothers are relatively small. First, physical examination and consultation before assisted reproductive technology is an important step to ensure that the mother's physical condition is suitable for IVF. Then, hormone therapy is one of the commonly used methods in the process of IVF to promote the development of eggs. Hormone treatment may cause some minor side effects, such as headache, breast pain and nausea. In addition, pregnancy also has some effects on the mother's body. During pregnancy, weight gain, abdominal enlargement and breast enlargement are normal physiological changes. The mother's internal organs will also be compressed, which may lead to heartburn, low back pain and other discomfort. However, these effects are usually temporary, and with the birth of the fetus, the mother's body will gradually return to the state before pregnancy.

3. Fetal development

IVF may have some effects on fetal development. First, hormone therapy may increase the weight of the fetus at birth, but this does not mean that the fetus will have developmental problems. Secondly, because IVF is often carried out through in vitro fertilization, this may make the fetus different from the naturally conceived fetus in some aspects. However, after strict monitoring and treatment of modern medicine, there is no obvious difference between IVF fetus and naturally conceived fetus in most cases. The development of the fetus is also related to the physical and psychological conditions of the mother. Mother's health and good mentality are very important for the development of the fetus. The mother's diet, recreational activities and psychological pressure may affect the fetus.

4. Progress in IVF medical institutions and assisted reproductive technology

The continuous development of IVF technology and the specialization of medical institutions have brought hope to infertile couples. There are many famous IVF hospitals around the world, such as Illinois State University Hospital in the United States and Peking Union Medical College Hospital in China. These medical institutions provide professional assisted reproductive services for couples by using the most advanced equipment and treatment methods. The progress of IVF technology has also enabled more and more infertile couples to successfully conceive. For example, the application of new technologies such as single embryo transfer and embryo quality screening has greatly improved the success rate of IVF.

summary

IVF has a series of effects on both mother and fetus. Psychologically, the IVF process may bring pressure and anxiety, but success will bring satisfaction and happiness. Physically, mothers may experience side effects of hormone therapy and physiological changes during pregnancy. For the fetus, there may be some differences in the development of IVF, but with the treatment of modern medicine, these differences can usually be controlled. The progress of IVF technology has made couples more hopeful to achieve their reproductive aspirations, and has also promoted the development of medical institutions and assisted reproductive technology.
