Diego and Carmen are considering in vitro fertilization. What should they know about the risks of in vitro fertilization to prenatal development?

2. These babies are more likely than single births to have lower birth weight and preterm birth, but longitudinal studies have not revealed developmental problems associated with in vitro fertilization per se.
3. Development and psychological adjustment are normal in childhood and adolescence for babies who originated from in vitro fertilization.
