Pregnancy After Assisted Reproductive Technology

It is estimated that more than 4.5 million couples experience infertility each year, and more than 4 million babies
have been born using IVF since 1978. However, assisted reproductive technologies continue to raise many medical,
social, ethical, political and religious questions, often leading to controversial and sometimes inaccurate opinions
about the outcomes of pregnancies resulting from these techniques. This is the first book dedicated to pregnancies
arising from assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Chapters cover the most important management issues, from early
pregnancy to outcome of children resulting from ART, including gynaecological, genetic and obstetric complications.
Each chapter is written and edited by leading experts in the field of human reproduction. A timely, practical and
evidence-based guide to the management of ART pregnancies, based on 30 years of clinical experience, this is essential
reading for reproductive and maternal-fetal specialists as well as general obstetricians and gynaecologists.
