Can preterm birth of test tube babies be avoided?
Test tube babies are babies born through assisted reproductive technology (ART), while preterm birth refers to babies born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. The risk of IVF preterm birth is higher than that of natural pregnancy. However, through a series of measures and precautions, the incidence of preterm birth in IVF can be reduced. The following describes how to avoid premature delivery of test tube babies from aspects of nutrition and health care, pregnancy management, lifestyle and medical monitoring.
Nutrition and health care
In the early pregnancy of IVF, diet and nutrition are very important for the development of embryos and the health of mothers. The mother should take in enough protein, vitamins and minerals to promote the normal growth of the embryo. In addition, the intake of nutrients in the diet should be balanced and not excessive or insufficient. The puerpera should have regular nutritional assessment and follow the guidance of the doctor for supplementation. In addition to diet, reasonable supplementation of folic acid is also very important, which can effectively prevent fetal neural tube defects. Scientific and reasonable nutrition and health care can reduce the risk of premature birth of test tube babies.
At the same time, pregnant women with test tube babies should avoid excessive intake of caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and other harmful substances. These substances can have negative effects on embryos and mothers, increasing the risk of premature delivery. Keeping healthy eating habits and lifestyle is conducive to the healthy development of IVF.
Pregnancy management
In the pregnancy management of IVF, regular prenatal examination and doctor's guidance are very important. The puerpera should follow the pregnancy management plan given by the doctor, and carry out regular prenatal examination, blood pressure monitoring and weight monitoring. Doctors can reduce the risk of premature delivery by timely finding pregnancy complications and conducting reasonable intervention and treatment.
In addition, pregnant women should avoid strenuous exercise and standing for a long time during the pregnancy of IVF. Excessive physical activity may increase uterine contraction, leading to premature birth. Proper rest and mild physical activity are essential for the healthy development of IVF.
life style
The life style of pregnant women has a certain impact on the occurrence of IVF preterm birth. Regular work and rest and adequate sleep are important factors to keep healthy. IVF pregnant women should keep good living habits and avoid staying up late and excessive fatigue.
In addition, pregnant women with test tube babies should also avoid the effects of radiation and toxic chemicals. If they are far away from electromagnetic radiation sources and do not contact harmful chemicals, they should wear radiation protection equipment if necessary. These measures will help to reduce the incidence of preterm birth in IVF infants.
Medical monitoring
The pregnancy period of test tube babies needs to be closely monitored, and doctors will conduct regular prenatal examination and evaluation according to the physical conditions of mothers and babies. Through regular prenatal ultrasound examination and other relevant examinations, doctors can monitor the development of embryos, uterus and the physical condition of pregnant women, and detect and deal with abnormalities in a timely manner.
In addition, for IVF pregnant women who are at risk of preterm delivery, doctors may take preventive measures, such as preventive use of anti preterm drugs, cervical cerclage, etc., to prolong pregnancy and reduce the incidence of preterm delivery.
Summary
Through reasonable nutrition and health care, pregnancy management, good lifestyle and medical monitoring, the risk of IVF preterm birth can be reduced. During the pregnancy of IVF, the pregnant women should develop good living habits, follow the guidance of the doctor, and conduct regular prenatal examination and monitoring. At the same time, avoid being affected by harmful substances and radiation, and follow scientific nutrition principles to ensure the normal growth of embryos. Through various efforts, we can avoid the occurrence of IVF preterm birth to the greatest extent.
