class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A study of 34million women who gave birth in the US found those who conceived after having fertility treatment were 26 per cent more likely to have a premature baby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Compared to women who conceived naturally, they were 57 per cent more likely to have a placental abruption \u2013 a rare, serious complication in which the placenta separates from the lining of the womb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The links with these pregnancy complications remained even when the older age of women needing fertility treatment was taken into account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Being older is linked to a higher risk of complications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Even when women\u2019s general health, such as obesity and high blood pressure were taken into account, fertility treatment was linked with a higher rate of premature births and placental abruptions.<\/p>\n<p>   <img loading=\"lazy\"

class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Women who have fertility treatment to start a family are more likely to have twins and triplets, although multiple pregnancies are far less likely than in the past, and this may increase the risk of a premature birth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However some experts suspect hormonal drugs, used to stimulate a woman\u2019s ovaries to produce more eggs for fertility treatment, may also raise the risk of problems during pregnancy.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels link-bogr1 linkro-ccox\">\n<li>   <span>Couple&#8217;s romantic getaway ruined after

class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Researchers, who compared the births of more than 106,000 women following fertility treatment with 34.1million who conceived naturally, also found a greater risk to

class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The study\u2019s lead author, Dr Pensee Wu, a senior lecturer and honorary consultant obstetrician at Keele University School of Medicine, said: \u2018It\u2019s important for women to know that fertility treatment carries a higher risk of pregnancy complications, which require close monitoring, particularly during delivery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018Primary and specialist health care professionals should ensure these risks are communicated and strategies to mitigate them are discussed and implemented.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, is one of several to find a link between fertility treatment and premature birth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It may also be the case that women who are infertile have other health problems which raise their risk of complications during pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The study looked at women who gave birth between 2008 and 2016.<\/p>\n<p>            <!-- ad:
