Why does this doubt arise?
In some cases, couples who resort to assisted reproduction treatment due to a sterility or infertility problem tend to associate this sterility with a complicated or risky pregnancy.
In order to avoid despair, it is important to clarify the differences between sterility and infertility and to understand their relationship with a pregnancy:
Female sterility: is when a woman has difficulties or is unable to get pregnant. These cases can be treated with assisted reproduction techniques, in order to achieve a normal pregnancy.
Female infertility: in this other case, the woman manages to get pregnant, however, the pregnancy does not develop correctly and can end up in abortion. Therefore, in these cases, the pregnancy will be high risk and will need to be rigorously controlled.
In what ways is assisted reproduction pregnancy different from natural pregnancy?
The most notable difference is that the risk of prematurity is slightly higher in a pregnancy achieved by an assisted reproduction treatment. The development of the embryo, the risk of abortion or genetic alterations is the same in both pregnancies, so don’t worry.
Will I live my pregnancy like other women?
Yes. The only difference with a natural pregnancy will be its beginnings. All the mother’s symptoms during pregnancy, your baby’s development and happiness when you have it will be exactly the same.
