Test tube babies, conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF), are generally as healthy as those conceived naturally.

• Comparable Health: Test tube babies (IVF) generally have health outcomes similar to naturally conceived babies.

• Developmental Milestones: Most IVF children reach developmental milestones at the same rate as other children.

• Congenital Abnormalities: Slightly higher risk of congenital abnormalities compared to natural conception, though still rare.

• Preterm Birth: Increased risk of preterm birth and low birth weight, often linked to multiple pregnancies from IVF.

• Genetic Screening: Preimplantation genetic testing can reduce the risk of inherited genetic disorders.

• Long-Term Studies: Long-term studies indicate that IVF children grow up to have similar health and development as their peers.

• Parental Age: Health outcomes can be influenced by the age and health of the parents, particularly maternal age.

• Lifestyle Factors: Healthy lifestyle choices by parents before and during IVF can positively impact the health of the baby.

• Psychological Well-Being: Studies show no significant difference in psychological well-being between IVF children and others.

• Immunization Rates: Immunization rates and responses are comparable to those of naturally conceived children.

• Monitoring: IVF pregnancies are often more closely monitored, leading to early detection and management of potential issues.

• Birth Defects: Slightly increased risk of birth defects, but most children are born healthy.

• Multiple Births: Risks associated with multiple births (common in IVF) can include complications, but many multiples are healthy.

• Parental Health: The overall health of parents before IVF plays a crucial role in the health outcomes of the baby.
