Dealing with High risk pregnancy

The process of conceiving and giving birth to a child is usually a normal process for most of the mothers. But for a few, it comes with a lot of complications which is known as a high-risk pregnancy. Women who conceive prior to the age of 17 and after the age of 35 are more likely to have a high risk of pregnancy.

In a high-risk pregnancy, a baby is posed with several risks of health issues which can affect it either during or after the delivery. In such cases, thorough care during pregnancy and monitoring is required. It is crucial to be aware of the risk factors to avoid a high risk of pregnancy. The risk factors are as follow:

• Maternal Age: This is a huge factor and must not be ignored. Mothers older than the age of 35 must be extremely cautious while they are pregnant.
• Medical History: Medical history of several diseases and conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disorders, asthma, and infection can increase the chances of a high-risk pregnancy.
• Lifestyle Choices: Several lifestyle choices like consumption of alcohol, cigarette smoking, and usage of drugs can threaten a pregnancy.
• Surgical History:  History of surgeries of the ovary and other reproductive organs can be a threat.
• Multiple Births: If a woman carries more than one fetus at a time, it can pose a threat.
• Overweight and Obesity: Being overweight or obese can be a risk factor of a high-risk pregnancy.
• Other Diseases like thyroids, HIV, chronic kidney diseases, and depression can also affect a pregnancy.

How to Deal with the condition?

If at all one gets pregnant with high risks, there are ways in which one can increase the probability of having a healthy baby, ensuring that the mother’s health is not affected too.

Are IVF Babies Are As Normal As Other?

IVF is a blessing and has worked like a miracle in the last few decades for couples who were not being able to conceive naturally. This innovation is helping in the battle against infertility and has earned wide-ranged popularity across the world. 

IVF Babies are as normal as other children

A common misunderstanding prevailing in society is that IVF babies are not normal. Some call them as test-tube babies as they are not the offshoots of a natural process of conceiving. Some say that IVF babies are artificial since they are designed in the cutting edge of laboratories. This falsehood is endlessly circulated among the ignorant sections of the society. The fact they don't realize is that IVF babies are as normal as other children. They too are naturally born. A proper awareness should be provided among the society in order to eradicate these myths.  

Reality behind IVF pregnancy:

The ART technology that is used during IVF treatment stands for Assisted Reproductive Technology, not Artificial Reproductive Technology. In these cases, a doctor only helps to insert the embryo into the uterus through the cervix. Hereafter, the process of pregnancy is as normal as it happens after a sexual intercourse. IVF babies are healthy and the risk of any genetic disorder is also negligible.

In IVF, sperm from the male partner and eggs from the female partner are fertilized in a lab, under proper supervision. Instead of a fallopian tube, the fusion takes place in the test tube. This process of fertilization and fusion of eggs in the lab is an alternative to sexual intercourse. Once the embryo is produced through fusion in the lab, it is transferred to the uterus of the woman and then the whole process is the same as in any normal case. 

Kare center for fertility treatments and its leaders disseminates the importance and scope of IVF in society and eliminated all the myths about it. A team of experts from this organization are putting their hard work and dedication to help many families to bring their newborn home.
