Pnm-23: Anxiety during Pregnancy and Fetal Attachmentafter In vitro Fertilization Conception

Background: Attachment style is the pattern of an individual in forming relationships with others, which is believed to be determined in the early years of life. Maternal-fetal attachment (MFA) is a term used to describe the relationship between a pregnant woman and her fetus. Qualitative descriptions of maternal attitudes and adaptation to pregnancy indicate that MFA is based on cognitive representations of the fetus. These may include imagined scenarios between mother and child, as well as a mother's attribution of physical and emotional characteristics to the fetus. Mental health during pregnancy affect on fetus growing and baby’s future adaption. Therefore using different ways to promoting maternal mental health can decrease maternal-child problems. Many intervention program were designed to promote maternal mental health. One of these interventions is improving relationship between mother and child. The aim of this study was to compare couples who had conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF) with matched controls for the prevalence of anxiety and quality of attachment to the baby during pregnancy.Materials and Methods: This article presents the result of a systematic review about the effect of behavioral attachment on maternal after in vitro fertilization conception. Results: The results of this study demonstrate that, despite the finding of no group differences in state and trait anxiety using the Spielberger, the IVF mothers were significantly more anxious about the well-being of their unborn babies and about damage to the babies during childbirth (associated with more negative feelings about the birth and a tendency to a higher tolerance for medical interventions during the birth). Conclusion: Education MFA behaviors during pregnancy can increase prenatal attachment and maternal mental health. So we can promote maternal mental health with education these simple behaviors in vitro fertilization conception
