introduction
IVF is a kind of baby made by in vitro fertilization technology, which can help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to reproductive problems realize their reproductive dreams. However, expectant mothers of IVF babies may be worried about their own body and lifestyle, one of which is whether smoking will have a negative impact on the health of the fetus. This article will discuss whether smoking in IVF will lead to low birth weight. influence factor
The relationship between IVF low birth weight and smoking is affected by many factors, including pre pregnancy weight, smoking frequency of pregnant women and duration of smoking during pregnancy. First of all, pre pregnancy weight has a greater impact on fetal birth weight. Several studies have shown that women with low weight before pregnancy are more likely to have low weight babies, and smoking may exacerbate this effect.
Secondly, the frequency and duration of smoking among pregnant women will also affect the birth weight of the baby. The study found that the more women smoke every day, the lower the baby's birth weight. In addition, the longer you smoke, the lower your baby's birth weight. This is because the chemicals in tobacco can enter the maternal blood and pass through the placenta to the fetus, affecting the growth and development of the fetus.
There are also other factors that can affect the birth weight of IVF babies. For example, mother's age, diet during pregnancy and weight control during pregnancy. Therefore, we need to take these factors into consideration when evaluating whether IVF smoking will lead to low birth weight.
Results of scientific research
Many scientific studies have shown that smoking in vitro babies can lead to low birth weight. For example, a study conducted by Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States found that the birth weight of test tube babies whose mothers to be smoked was significantly lower than that of non smoking mothers. Similarly, a study conducted by King's College London in 2019 reached a similar conclusion.
The King's College London study also found that the risk of IVF mothers smoking is not only low weight, but also premature delivery, fetal dysplasia and other health problems. These findings further support the association between low birth weight and smoking in IVF.
Realistic case study
Many IVF hospitals around the world have carried out clinical studies related to IVF smoking. Take a famous IVF hospital in Los Angeles, California, USA as an example. The data of this hospital shows that in the past few years, the birth weight of IVF babies whose mothers to be smoke is generally lower than that of non smoking IVF babies.
In addition, in the study conducted in the same hospital, the researchers also noticed that the birth weight of test tube babies increased after their expectant mothers quit smoking. This further verified the relationship between IVF smoking and low birth weight.
summary
In conclusion, there is a clear correlation between IVF smoking and low birth weight. Therefore, for couples planning to have IVF, expectant mothers should try to avoid smoking to protect the health of the fetus. Although there are other factors that can also affect the birth weight of IVF, smoking, as a factor that has been widely studied and confirmed, should be highly valued by couples.
