Abstract | This book explore how experiences of IVF can affect the transition to parenthood for non-donor infertile couples. Drawing on empirical research and the broader social sciences literature, the book sets out the context of complex modern family building and discusses how infertility and IVF continue to shape parenthood and family building after successful IVF conception. It looks at how stigma, disclosure, loss and gender affect this transition, as well as what happens when parents start thinking about trying for siblings. WE highlight the roles or healthcare professionals (nurses, midwives and health visitors) when caring for these new parents, in providing social support and facilitating good communication to foster emotional well-being. |
