Is there any difference between IVF and normal pregnancy?

Yesterday, some friends in the mothers\’ group mentioned this question: My husband and I have been married for more than two years, and we have taken ovulation-stimulating drugs and various folk remedies. However, I have been unable to conceive a child for a long time, so I am under great psychological pressure. In desperation, my husband and I discussed doing in vitro fertilization. However, the mother-in-law\’s family is not very supportive. They feel that the child may not be as smart and healthy as a naturally conceived child. For this reason, I felt sad for a long time. Because I feel that even my last hope has been killed, and I may never have a chance to have children in this life. CCTV recommends over 500 high-scoring documentaries. The children will be addicted to self-discipline after watching them. Fortunately, when I stopped focusing on having a baby and concentrated on preparing for the career exam, I actually got pregnant. , or twins. Moreover, I don’t know if it was luck, but I successfully landed the exam on the first try. The husband\’s family now praises everyone when they meet, \”My daughter-in-law is pregnant and has passed the exam.\” Maybe it’s because I’m upset, but I still want to know is there really any difference between IVF and ordinary babies? Or maybe the husband’s family thinks that in vitro fertilization is too expensive… As outsiders, we cannot know other people’s true inner thoughts. However, we must admit that doing in vitro fertilization is not as easy as imagined. Not only does it test people\’s energy, but it also requires a lot of financial support. It is understood that a successful live birth for a woman of childbearing age costs at least 100,000 yuan, or even more. Although some economically developed provinces and cities have already included assisted reproduction in medical insurance. For example, Beijing includes 16 expenses in medical insurance, which can reimburse more than 10,000 yuan on average. But for ordinary families, it is still just a drop in the bucket. Many imported drugs, which account for the bulk of the total cost, are paid for out-of-pocket. What\’s more, the medical insurance funds of many provinces can only meet basic medical needs, and they are currently unable to include assisted reproduction in the scope of medical insurance. Therefore, some husband-in-laws do not allow their daughter-in-law to undergo in vitro fertilization because they think it is more expensive. So the question is, what is the difference between a test-tube baby that costs so much money to give birth to and a child conceived naturally? Is it really inferior to a naturally conceived child? Some people worry that in vitro fertilization will have physical and mental health problems during their growth. For example, if you are frail and sick, you will be unable to have children as an adult. This concern is understandable, but unnecessary. Earlier, a medical team conducted long-term follow-up monitoring and investigation on Zheng Mengzhu, my country\’s first test-tube baby. It was found that her physical development, IQ, language ability, etc. were not much different from those of naturally conceived children. She was admitted to university and became a doctor at Peking University Third Hospital after graduation. In 2019, at the age of 31, she successfully gave birth to her child. Moreover, in the documentary \”The Seer\”, she also shared the current situation of her 2-year-old son. Lively, cute and very healthy. If I have to tell you what the difference is, it’s probably these two points: 1. IVF may be more secure in terms of health. When doing IVF, doctors will screen the genes of both men and women, so they can screen out those with Problems with sperm and eggs. In other words, sperm that can be selected andEggs are of relatively high quality, which can prevent the birth of children with genetic diseases. 2. In vitro fertilization has a higher quality of life and a higher happiness index. Last year, an Australian research team published a study in a well-known academic journal. Their scientists conducted a survey and analysis of 193 test-tube babies and people born through natural conception at the same time. The results found that people born through in vitro fertilization have less stress, are healthier, have a more harmonious relationship with their parents, and have a better financial situation when they are 18 to 28 years old; when they are 22 to 35 years old, they have better financial status. The living environment and social relationships are better, and the happiness index is also higher. This is actually very well understood. Because the general family conditions for in vitro fertilization are okay. In addition, they are obtained by their parents with great effort and hardship, so they are often cherished doubly.
