Is the child's body normal after the success of IVF?

The development of IVF technology has brought hope to many infertile patients, but it has also triggered a series of doubts. An important issue that people are concerned about is whether the child who succeeds in IVF is normal. In this article, we will elaborate on the physical condition of the child after the success of IVF from four aspects: fetal development, health status at birth, growth and development, and long-term tracking.

Fetal development

IVF embryos are fertilized and cultured in vitro in the laboratory, and then transferred to the mother's uterus. The development process of the fetus in the uterus is similar to that of a naturally conceived fetus. According to the research of Johns Hopkins University, there is no significant difference in weight, height and organ development between IVF and naturally conceived fetus. Therefore, from the perspective of development, the child's body after the success of IVF can be considered normal. However, some studies have shown that IVF may have an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities or genetic diseases during embryo transfer. The occurrence of this risk is related to multiple factors, including maternal age, embryo quality, etc. In order to reduce this risk, doctors will carry out chromosome screening and other tests on embryos before transplantation to ensure the healthy and normal development of embryos.

Health at birth

The health status of IVF babies at birth is not significantly different from that of naturally conceived babies. According to a study in the Lancet, there is no significant difference between IVF and naturally conceived infants in terms of birth weight, Apgar score (assessment of neonatal respiratory, heartbeat, muscle tone, reflex, skin color and other indicators) and the prevalence of congenital abnormalities. Therefore, it can be said that the health status of the child born after the success of IVF is as normal as that of the child born naturally.

Growth and development

There may be some differences between IVF and naturally conceived children during their growth and development. According to the research of the National Institutes of Health, IVF babies may face higher risks in early childhood, such as premature delivery, low birth weight and neurodevelopmental problems. However, these differences are usually short-lived, gradually narrowing in childhood and adolescence, and ultimately no significant difference with naturally conceived children. In addition, the study also found that there was no significant difference between IVF and naturally conceived children in terms of intellectual, emotional and behavioral development. Therefore, the growth and development of the child after the success of IVF can be considered normal.

Long term follow-up

Long term follow-up study is very important to evaluate the physical condition of children after successful IVF. According to a study conducted by Stanford University Medical Center in California, the long-term follow-up of IVF after birth shows that their physical development, intellectual level and mental health are not significantly different from those of naturally conceived children. In addition, for specific diseases and health problems, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and chronic pain, there are some disputes and inconsistent research results in the IVF population. However, these problems need further long-term tracking and research to draw accurate conclusions. In a word, from the four aspects of fetal development, health at birth, growth and development, and long-term follow-up, the body of a child after successful IVF can be considered normal. However, we need further research and data to better understand the physical condition of IVF and provide more accurate information and suggestions for patients.
