Will the IQ of IVF be lower than that of normal children?

Someone asked: Is there a significant difference in IQ and physique between IVF and normal naturally pregnant babies? Presumably this is also the concern of many people. Is there a difference between IVF and normal children? Is the IQ of IVF really lower than that of normal children? The expert answered the question.

Experts say that this is another major psychological obstacle for infertile couples to refuse IVF. In fact, after more than 20 years of development, hundreds of thousands of test-tube babies have been born all over the world, and early test-tube babies have also given birth to their own normal babies. Some large-scale follow-up surveys and studies have confirmed that there is no significant difference in birth defects and later physical and mental development between IVF and naturally conceived babies, and infertile couples can rest assured.

Moreover, with the development of IVF technology, in order to avoid the tragedy caused by genetic diseases, we can adopt the method of gene diagnosis, that is, pre-transplant gene diagnosis, that is, the third generation of IVF technology, to ensure prenatal and postnatal care.

Factors affecting intelligence of in vitro fertilization;

1, genetic aspect

The IQ of IVF is influenced by parents. If parents have low intelligence, the IQ of IVF is generally not high. In addition, if parents have related genetic diseases, it is recommended to do the third generation of IVF technology.

2. Nutrition

Insufficient nutrition supply after IVF birth not only affects the growth rate of weight and height, but also affects the development of intelligence. 0-2 years old is a critical period of brain development. Severe malnutrition in this period will affect brain development, thus affecting intelligence.

3. disease.

If IVF is born with hypoxia, asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage and hypoglycemia, it may seriously damage the development and function of the brain.

To sum up, it is not difficult to see that there is no difference in IQ and development between IVF and normal children. We should have a correct understanding of IVF, which is also a baby born by mother in October and can grow up healthily like ordinary children.
