Babies born after IVF: the myths debunked
March 21, 2021
Many myths surround IVF. Certain preconceived ideas and all sorts of bad advice can discourage future parents from their MAP treatment. Are children born after IVF likely to have more health problems than others? Is a caesarean section compulsory? Let us lift the veil on the most common myths.
Do babies born through IVF tend to be born prematurely?
No. Pregnancy with a single fetus conceived during the MAP treatment does not increase the risk of prematurity.
People conceived through IVF have fertility problems.
Myth. Studies show that they have the same chances of having offspring as people conceived naturally.
Pregnancy after IVF always involves a caesarean section.
No. The decision to perform a caesarean section is made based on the course of the pregnancy, the mother’s physiology and other factors.
Children born by IVF can have health problems and are more fragile than others.
This is a myth. Their mental, physical and emotional health is not inferior to that of naturally conceived babies.
