Abstract

Background: Studies the outcome of pregnancy after assisted reproductive technologies (ART) pregnancies report heterogeneous results. Despite the success of ART to overcome infertility, concern is growing regarding both its safety and its effect on maternal and child health.

objective: The aim of this study is evaluation of pregnancy outcome (maternal and fetal) after ART.

Methods: A population-based birth prospective cross- section observational study was carried out among pregnant women by ART & expected to deliver in 2020 to 2022 at Al wahda hospital / Derna, maternal results included gravidity difficulties and weight gain during pregnancy.

Results: The study includ 100 pregnant women   after ART. Adjusted examines displayed that, more than 90% of pregnancies were multiple pregnancy. The OHSS was positive in 45.0%. The majority of the patients (97.0%) had anemia during pregnancy. The cervical cerculage done in 46.0% of the pregnant women.

Conclusion: the major bad effect on the child-health results is owing mostly to the increase occurrence of several pregnancies and not because of ART.
