Health provider awareness of cultural influences on the development of early maternal-foetal attachment of women pregnant by in vitro fertilization is needed. Prenatal education in early pregnancy might incorporate more information about foetal development to allow the mother to visualize her unborn child. Providing social support for women who were conceived by in vitro fertilization is beneficial to the development of maternal-foetal attachment.

“…This subscale was developed from evidence for parents' unusually strong feelings of attachment for children after infertility, resulting in overprotection. These feelings are the result of the extreme effort these parents have endured to have children and their fears that, if something untoward happened to their offspring, the emotional trauma might prove incapacitating (Abbey et al, 1994a;Bernstein, 1990;Colpin, 1994;Golombok, 1997;McMahon et al, 1995;Sokoloff, 1987).…”

The authors review the literature on the experience of parenting after primary infertility and describe construction and initial testing of an instrument for assessing characteristics of this understudied population. The Parenting After Infertility Survey (PAI) consists of eight theoretically and empirically derived subscales that measure important aspects of parenting after infertility. The method of survey development and results of initial testing are described. The 64-item PAI was administered to 181 volunteers who had become parents after experiences with primary infertility. Results indicated that four subscales-

“…Pregnancy after undergoing fertility treatment is the phenomenon of transition from infertility to becoming a mother and many women in this situation are worried about going back to infertility after a miscarriage (Sandelowski, ). Such women engage in psychological preparation in order to minimize the shock that is associated with a miscarriage, even as they could regard their pregnancy as yet unconfirmed and often could receive only inadequate information about pregnancy (Bernstein, ; Covington & Burns, ; Mori, Ishii, & Hayashi, ; Olshansky, ). The work that is needed to overcome this uncertainty is special work, different from that required for a natural pregnancy.…”

Aim To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and outcome of the Adaptation Support Program in Early Pregnancy after the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Methods The participants were 57 primiparas who had undergone ART and had received the Adaptation Support Program. The data were gathered by using questionnaires before (Time 1), immediately after (Time 2), and 8 weeks after (Time 3) the intervention between August, 2014 and March, 2015. The data for the 40 women who gave valid answers were analyzed statistically. Results Of the respondents, 75% gave a positive evaluation that the program met their expectations and >80% positively evaluated it for its convenience, problem‐solving intentionality, satisfaction, and usefulness. The Anticipatory Anxiety for Loss Scale (AALS) and State–Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI‐J) scores decreased significantly at Times 2 and 3 and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) scores at Time 3. The Post‐traumatic Growth Inventory‐Japanese (PTGI‐J) scores, showing growth as a result of infertility experience, increased significantly at Time 3. The Care Need Satisfaction Scale (CNSS) scores showed a positive correlation with the PTGI‐J scores and negative correlations with the AALS and STAI‐J, but did not correlate with the EPDS. Conclusion This program was evaluated positively. The AALS, PTGI‐J, EPDS, and STAI showed significant change after the program and the AALS, PTGI‐J, and STAI‐J showed significant correlations with the CNSS.
