Inm-5: Comparison in Prenatal Care for Infertile Patients and Normal Pregnancy

author

Abstract:

Antenatal care seems to be a significant contributor to low birth weight (LBW) babies, preterm birth, obstetric complications, and neonatal mortality. Widespread apply of prenatal care is often related to high-risk pregnancies; though the effects of prenatal care on unpleasant pregnancy outcomes in such pregnancies have not been widely discovered. Suitable prenatal screening and counseling are of vital significance for pregnant women with a history of infertility; these women are mostly older than average pregnant women, have a greater number of chronic situations, and are at risk for spontaneous abortion and chromosomal abnormalities. Studies indicated that even after adjusting for age and parity, sub fertile women are at higher risk of preeclampsia, placenta previa, and placental abruption, and are more probable to go through induction of labor, have a cesarean section (CS), and deliver LBW and preterm infants. Researches demonstrated that women with singleton births who used various treatment modalities for infertility, including assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), have worse pregnancy outcomes despite the sufficient prenatal care, compared to the general population. However, impacts of prenatal care on adverse birth and obstetric outcomes in infertile women have seldom been investigated.
