Pregnancy after in vitro fertilization (IVF) brings a special kind of joy – but IVF may also increase risks of some complications. IVF increases the likelihood of twins, triplets or high-order multiples, with accompanying risk for premature birth, high blood pressure, placenta abnormalities and other challenges. Advanced maternal age (often the reason for IVF) increases risk for miscarriage and birth defects. Fortunately, our experienced maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialists and colleagues are experts in addressing all these needs – and they work closely with colleagues in our Center for Infertility and Reproductive Surgery. At Brigham and Women’s Hospital, your hard-won pregnancy is in good hands. We understand that you may have concerns and want to assure you that we are steadfast in our commitment to safely providing the care you need. Our maternal-fetal medicine specialists are available to connect with you in person and with Virtual Visits.
