We present the results of a comparative study of maternal attitudes towards young children (11-37 months) in 135 dyads (cases of spontaneous conception) and 135 dyads (children conceived through in vitro fertilization - IVF). Data were collected in 2011-2012 in Center for Family Planning and Reproduction, Moscow, using the following techniques: questionnaire for mothers by M.E. Lantsburg, technique "Parental estimates of children" (M.E. Lantsburg modification of Dembo-Rubinstein techniques), medical history data. It has been shown that women who conceive through IVF, compared with those who conceived spontaneously, more often ignore the baby movements during pregnancy, and child birth often has a significant impact on the change in their lives. The mothers who conceived spontaneously have more realistic expectations about the actual possibilities and abilities of their children; mothers who conceived through IVF, often place inappropriate to their age requirements to the children and have higher expectations of their children.
The study focuses on the problem of mental development of children conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF) and presents the results of a comparative research of cognitive development of 135 children conceived spontaneously and 135 children conceived by IVF, aged from 11 to 37 months. Data were collected at the Center for Family Planning and Reproduction, Moscow. We used diagnostics of infants’ neuropsychological development (E.L. Frukht), psycho-pedagogical study of mental development of early-aged children (E.A. Strebeleva) and medical history data. We found peculiarities in cognitive development of early-aged children conceived by IVF compared with those conceived spontaneously. Children born after 4-9 IVF cycles have demonstrated cognitive development lags significantly more often than those conceived naturally or after 1-3 IVF cycles. Among children conceived spontaneously share of children with normal cognitive development did not differ on the first, second and third years of life; in a group of children conceived after 1-3 IVF cycles, number of children with normal cognitive development increased from first to third year.
