Abstract
The success of IVF has led to the birth of thousands of children. It has been suggested that IVF mothers will have more difficulty than their naturally conceiving counterparts with pregnancy and the transition to parenthood (1–5). Studies assessing IVF women during pregnancy have failed to find any differences between IVF and control-group women on measures of anxiety, attachment, and self-esteem (6–8). After delivery, Australian IVF women did not differ from non-IVF women on measures of anxiety, depression, and marital satisfaction, but differences were noted in sexuality, parental efficacy, and infant temperament (9, 10). These studies were limited because of demographic differences between the IVF and control group samples.
