Will the growth and development of the first generation IVF be affected?
With the development of IVF technology, many infertile couples have realized their dream of procreation. However, people also have some concerns about whether the growth and development of IVF will be affected. In this article, we will discuss the growth and development of the first generation of IVF and the similarities and differences between IVF and conventional pregnant infants from various aspects.
Embryonic development
The embryonic development process of IVF is not significantly different from that of naturally conceived infants. In the first few days of in vitro culture medium, embryos will experience cell division and cell development, then enter the uterus, embed in the endometrium, and continue to develop. Therefore, the development process of embryos in vitro is similar and will not have a significant negative impact on their growth.
Studies have shown that there are some differences in the gene expression patterns of natural and test tube pregnant infants during embryonic development. However, these differences did not have a significant impact on the growth and development of infants, and there was no significant difference in length, weight, and intellectual development between IVF and natural infants.
In addition, the embryo quality assessment of IVF is an important link to ensure a successful pregnancy. By evaluating the appearance and development degree of embryos, select the most promising embryos for transplantation, so as to improve the implantation rate and pregnancy success rate of IVF.
Pregnancy health and risks
There are certain health risks during IVF pregnancy, but these risks are not related to IVF itself. It is related to maternal age, basic diseases and other factors. IVF pregnancy requires assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization or embryo transfer, which may increase the risk of infection, bleeding and other risks of pregnant women.
However, studies have shown that IVP does not increase the risk of congenital anomalies. A study of 28534 test tube babies found that their risk of birth defects was comparable to that of naturally conceived babies.
In addition, IVF pregnancy monitoring is similar to natural pregnancy. Prenatal examination and health care during pregnancy are essential to ensure the healthy development of infants. The pregnancy of test tube babies requires regular prenatal examination, blood testing, ultrasonic examination, etc. During this process, any potential problems can be found and handled in a timely manner to ensure the health of the fetus.
Follow up development of children
There is no significant difference in the growth and development of IVF after birth from that of naturally conceived infants. A study of 400 test tube babies found that there was no significant difference between them and natural babies in height, weight, intelligence, etc. At the same time, the study also found that the psychosocial development of IVF was similar to that of natural infants.
It is worth noting that although there is no significant difference in the growth and development of IVF, its risk of suffering from chronic diseases, such as asthma, diabetes, etc., may be slightly higher than that of natural infants. This may be related to the factors involved in assisted reproductive technology, but the exact reason is still unclear.
summary
To sum up, the growth and development of the first generation of test tube babies are less affected. In the process of embryonic development, the IVF is similar to the naturally conceived baby, the pregnancy monitoring is similar to the routine pregnancy, and the subsequent development of children is no significant difference from the natural baby. Although in vitro children's risk of chronic diseases is slightly higher than that of natural children, this does not affect their normal life. Therefore, IVF can grow safely and enjoy the same opportunities and rights as naturally conceived children.
