It has been presumed that pregnancy and parenthood experienced after infertility and assisted conception will be unproblematic and gratifying. Bernstein (1990), however, theorized that past infertility and ART conception might be associated with elevated anxiety about pregnancy loss; delayed mother–infant attachment; diminished maternal confidence; hypervigilant and overprotective parenting and idealized expectations of parenting capacity and the infant. Subsequently, clinical reports and qualitative studies suggested that pregnancy and parenting may be more complex psychologically after assisted than spontaneous conception (Sandelowski et al., 1990; Dunnington and Glazer, 1991; Brockington, 1996). Systematic investigations of perinatal psychological functioning after ART treatment are more recent, in part because there have only been cohorts of adequate size for research since the early 1990s. The aim of this study was to
review the available evidence of the psychological and social consequences of pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting after assisted conception systematically.
