Achieving pregnancy through IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a joyful milestone, but it also requires special medical attention and emotional support. Pregnancy after IVF is considered a precious and closely monitored pregnancy, especially during the early weeks. At Matrika Fertility Centre, Darbhanga, Dr. Kumari Shilpa provides comprehensive and personalized pregnancy care after IVF to ensure the health of both mother and baby.

Why is Pregnancy Care Important After IVF?

Pregnancy achieved through IVF needs careful monitoring because:

• Hormonal support is required in early pregnancy

• Risk of early pregnancy loss may be slightly higher

• Chances of multiple pregnancy may exist

• Emotional stress and anxiety are common

With proper medical supervision and timely care, most IVF pregnancies progress normally and result in healthy deliveries.

First Trimester Care After IVF (0–12 Weeks)

The first trimester is the most crucial phase after IVF.

1. Pregnancy Confirmation

• Blood test (Beta-hCG) after 12–14 days of embryo transfer

• Repeat test to confirm rising hormone levels

2. Early Ultrasound Scan

• First scan at 6–7 weeks to confirm:

  • Gestational sac

  • Fetal heartbeat

  • Location of pregnancy

3. Hormonal Support

• Progesterone and other medications are continued

• Strict adherence to prescribed medicines is essential

4. Lifestyle and Rest

• Adequate rest and sleep

• Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise

• Stress management and emotional support

Second Trimester Care After IVF (13–28 Weeks)

The second trimester is usually more comfortable, but regular check-ups remain important.

Key Aspects of Care

• Routine antenatal visits

• Anomaly scan (18–22 weeks)

• Monitoring blood pressure and blood sugar

• Nutritional counseling

• Weight monitoring

Most IVF pregnancies stabilize during this phase with proper care.

Third Trimester Care After IVF (29–40 Weeks)

The third trimester focuses on preparing for safe delivery.

Important Monitoring Includes

• Growth scans

• Monitoring fetal movements

• Screening for preterm labor

• Planning mode of delivery (normal or cesarean)

Dr. Kumari Shilpa ensures individualized birth planning based on maternal and fetal health.
