The rapid development of IVF technology has realized the dream of parenthood for countless families. However, many pregnancy preparation families share a common question: Do children born through US and Mexico IVF face special health or psychological challenges as they grow up? Dr. Nathan Zhang of IVF USA will use scientific research to interpret these common issues for you.

 

Physiological Challenges for IVF Children: Birth Weight and Preterm Birth Risk

 

Dr. Nathan Zhang points out that while the vast majority of IVF children can have a healthy and normal development process, certain studies do show that these children may face some challenges in early infancy, which are related to specific factors in the assisted reproductive process:

 

 Birth Weight: Some research indicates that IVF children may have a slightly lower birth weight than naturally conceived children. This difference is often associated with the relatively higher rates of multiple pregnancies and preterm birth common in IVF.

 Health Discrepancies: Although some studies have observed subtle differences in certain health indicators at specific age groups, Dr. Nathan Zhang emphasizes that these differences are often closely related to postnatal environment, family conditions, and medical care, rather than the technology itself.

 

Fortunately, as children grow, especially when provided with good nutrition and a healthy living environment, these initial physiological differences usually gradually disappear.

 

Psychological Development and Parental Overprotection

 

In addition to physiological aspects, psychological development is also a key concern for pregnancy preparation families.

 

 Intellectual and Emotional Development: Scientific research indicates that most IVF children show no significant difference in intellectual, emotional, and social development compared to naturally conceived children.

 Psychological Stress: Some researchers are concerned that IVF families may tend to "overprotect" the child due to the difficulty of conception, which might impose certain psychological stress on the child.

 

Dr. Nathan Zhang emphasizes that this environmental impact can be effectively adjusted through correct parenting methods and necessary psychological support. The key is to transform love and protection into healthy psychological support, allowing the child to grow up healthily in a peaceful environment.

 

Modern IVF technology, especially the application of IVF-PGT, is already capable of effectively performing genetic screening on embryos, controlling potential health risks to the maximum extent. This ensures that children born through US and Mexico IVF technology have stronger assurance regarding a healthy start.
