The development of modern science and technology has benefited many families who are unable to conceive a baby normally. Through in vitro fertilization technology, countless families have welcomed their own newborn babies. However, there are also risks associated with in vitro fertilization, such as premature birth in singleton pregnancies. Scientific technology can improve the success rate, but there are also cases of failure. So why is in vitro fertilization also premature in singleton pregnancies?
People believe that in vitro fertilization (IVF) is not a natural conception, but rather a result of artificial insemination and pregnancy. Coupled with the influence of drugs, the probability of premature birth is relatively high. However, this statement is incorrect because IVF is not much different from normal babies. The probability of premature birth in twin and multiple pregnancies is higher than that in singleton pregnancies, but it cannot be guaranteed that IVF singleton pregnancies will not result in premature birth.
What are the reasons for premature birth in IVF?
1. Hormonal reasons: Women may use hormone drugs during ovulation and embryo transfer, which may affect premature birth of the fetus.
2. Multiple pregnancies: Generally, in order to increase the probability of pregnancy, doctors will transfer two or more embryos simultaneously during in vitro fertilization, resulting in the occurrence of multiple pregnancies, which increases the risk of premature birth compared to singleton pregnancies.
3. Excessive medical intervention: IVF is not easy to come by, and parents will pay more attention to it. In various medical tests and care, once unexpected situations are discovered, artificial intervention will be taken to ensure early birth of the baby.
