The present study compares the evidence of pregnancy and delivery among in-vitro fertilization (IVF) parents (45 couples), other formerly infertile parents (35 couples) and fertile parents (35 couples). All deliveries concerned primaparous women and singleton births. In addition, the burden of fertility treatments was investigated. Results show that the psychological burden of the treatments exceeds the physical burden. Fertility treatments were judged very worthwhile. Complications during pregnancy were more frequently reported by IVF mothers and other initially infertile mothers than by fertile mothers. However, controlling for the older age in both formerly infertile groups (IVF and non-IVF), no significant difference was found. No differences appeared regarding the evaluation of the development of the delivery. IVF parents and other infertile parents evaluated the pregnancy as more stressful than fertile parents. However, mothers experienced their delivery as more exceptional, and fathers experienced the pregnancy as more exceptional. In addition, IVF fathers enjoyed the pregnancy more than fathers from the other groups.
本研究比较了体外受精（IVF）父母（45对夫妇）、其他曾患不孕症的父母（35对夫妇）和可育父母（35对夫妇）的妊娠和分娩情况。所有分娩均涉及初产妇和单胎分娩。此外，还调查了生育治疗的负担。结果表明，治疗的心理负担超过了身体负担。生育治疗被认为非常值得。与可育母亲相比，IVF母亲和其他最初不孕的母亲更频繁地报告孕期并发症。然而，在两个曾患不孕症的组（IVF组和非IVF组）中控制年龄因素后，未发现显著差异。在分娩过程的评估方面没有差异。IVF父母和其他不孕父母认为怀孕比可育父母压力更大。然而，母亲们觉得她们的分娩更特别，父亲们则觉得怀孕更特别。此外，IVF父亲比其他组的父亲更享受孕期。
