In vitro fertilization has become a common method of assisted reproduction in modern times. The conception of in vitro fertilization (IVF) is not achieved through the natural combination of sperm and egg, resulting in the implantation of a fertilized egg. Although both undergo growth and development in the female uterus, if they are twins, will they be delivered normally like a single baby? Are IVF twins considered full-term at 36 weeks?
Is 36 weeks of IVF twin considered full-term
Because it is a twin pregnancy, premature birth is often common in clinical practice, and the uterus can tolerate a bit of crowding between the two babies. If a cesarean section is performed at 36 weeks, it is necessary to go to a hospital with conditions to treat the fetal lung maturation before surgery, otherwise the baby's ability to adapt to the environment will be poor.
How long does it take for a fetus to be born at full term
1. The term 'October pregnancy' actually refers to ten months of pregnancy, which are measured in units of four weeks and seven days per week. Therefore, one month can only be counted as 28 days, and the entire pregnancy period is 280 days.
2. However, full-term babies are not considered to be full 40 weeks as we think. In fact, babies born after 37 weeks of pregnancy are full-term babies, because most normal full-term babies are born between 37-42 weeks of pregnancy, which is 260-293 days. If it is earlier than 37 weeks, then it is premature birth.
Like a naturally conceived fetus, in vitro fertilization (IVF) requires growth and development in the female uterus before undergoing the process of childbirth. However, as twins, they need to occupy a larger space inside the uterus. When the fetus is approaching maturity, it is necessary to communicate with a doctor whether early delivery is necessary to avoid squeezing and damaging the baby's uterine space.
