The article is devoted to the study of the psychological characteristics of mothers who gave birth to children conceived using in vitro fertilization. The results of a comparative study of personality characteristics, gestational dominant psychological component, and parent-child relationship 105 mothers of infants conceived via IVF children and 89 mothers who conceived naturally. The methodology used MINI SMIL L.N. Sobchik, test for pregnant I.V. Dobryakova and methods of E.S. Schaeffer, R.K. Bell revealed that mothers of children conceived via IVF, characterized hyperthymic, anxiety and ambition, at least – masculine traits and deliberately. Women often anxiety related to pregnancy and child euphoric attitude towards childbirth. After birth, they are often too much care of their children. Mothers who gave birth to premature babies are more likely than mothers of full-term children, are original and hyperthymic traits. During pregnancy, they often «gipognostichesky type» (little conscious) of relationship to leave, depressive attitude towards yourself and your child, anxious attitude towards strangers. These factors are risk factors for premature birth, therefore, require psychological treatment.

Multiple pregnancy is currently considered an important social and research problem, because it is often associated with a number of complications, such as premature birth and extremely low birth weight. Multiple pregnancies are facilitated by late reproductive age of the mother and in vitro fertilization (IVF) with the transfer of several embryos. In this review, we analyze specific characteristics of multiple pregnancies after IVF. Key words: twins, neonatal outcomes, in vitro fertilization

The growth of research in the field of reproductive health psychology, psychology of pregnant women using the method of in vitro fertilization (IVF), an increase in the birth rate using this method, as well as the number of broken families with difficulties with childbearing actualize this research topic in modern psychological science. The presented research is aimed at studying the psychological characteristics of women whose pregnancy occurred with the help of extracorporeal fertilization. The author believes that such women are characterized by a high level of anxiety, suspiciousness, a tendency to analyze the state of their own body, and the manifestation of hysteroid traits. Unlike women whose pregnancy occurred naturally, they tend to be depressed. The results of the study indicate that women whose pregnancy occurred via in vitro fertilization have more expressed anxiety and fear over pregnancy and the health of the unborn child, increased tendency to analyze the state of your own body and «alarming» signals from the environment, behavior with relatives, they often exhibit impulsivity, a game to the public. There is a desire to be in the center of attention and receive psychological stroking. These pregnant women have a fixation on their failures and disappointments, the presence of a passive life position. Women whose pregnancy occurred naturally are not prone to excessive fixation on the sensations in their body or to excessive complaints about the state of health; views and assessments harmoniously coincide with generally accepted norms, the environment of difficulties or misunderstandings does not arise; the mood is mostly smooth and calm, without periods of tension or dissatisfaction. There is a predominance of a favorable experience of pregnancy, based on internal and external resources, positive attitudes to motherhood.

Aim. To study the effect of the vitamin D receptor on bone metabolism disorders in premature infants born using in vitro fertilization (IVF). Material and methods. A study was conducted on 189 premature infants, divided into 2 groups. The first group is premature babies born using the IVF method. The second group – children were born naturally. The VDR receptor gene was analyzed depending on the observation groups. Results. It was found that in children born with IVF, the signs of osteopenia were more pronounced. Genetic studies have shown that the frequency of mutant allele *B and homozygous mutant genotype B/B of the VDR gene is more common in premature babies born with IVF. Mutant homozygous genotype B/B occurs in the main group of children with a frequency of 35%, which is significantly higher than in the control group of children (17%). Changes in bone metabolism are one of the important causes of musculoskeletal system disorders, which is closely associated with the molecular genetic polymorphism of the VDR gene. Conclusion. The studies conducted led to the following conclusion: the frequency of the mutant allele *B and homozygous for the mutant allele genotype B/B, occurs more often in premature babies born using IVF. The frequency of the *B allele in the group of premature babies born using IVF is 50%, which is higher than in the group of premature babies born naturally (40%). However, the identified genetic differences are not associated with the IVF procedure. These are combinations of gene alleles inherited from the parents. Knowledge of hereditary risk factors for low vitamin D3 levels can be of great practical importance for predicting bone metabolism disorders in premature infants.

Women who experience failures at the stage of fertilization or during pregnancy can develop psycho-emotional stress as a result of prolonged negative emotions with a high level of anxiety, neurotic conflict, often accompanied by a complicated pregnancy. The international academic literature discusses a possible link between high levels of anxiety and depression, on the one hand, and changes in the state of the immune system, on the other. The aim of the research was to identify the relationship between psycho-emotional changes in pregnant women with in vitro fertilization and threatened premature birth and changes in their immune status. The psycho-emotional state was studied in 60 women in the second trimester of pregnancy with a history of infertility, whose pregnancy resulted from IVF, and with threatened premature birth. As a control group, 20 healthy women with a physiological course of pregnancy were examined. The levels of trait (TA) and state anxiety (SA), as well as the degree of depressive disorders in these women, were assessed. In parallel, the levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and the state of cellular-humoral immunity were determined, looking for correlations between these indicators, the levels of anxiety, and manifestations of depression in the examined patients. Pregnant women with in vitro fertilization and threatened premature birth revealed high levels of state (53.3% of women) and trait (56.8% of women) anxiety; 70% of pregnant women are dominated by euphoric, anxious, and depressive types of the psychological component of gestational dominant; 33.3% of the examined women demonstrated a state of mild and masked depression. Correlations were found between an increase in SA and TA scores and an elevated concentration of TNF-α and INF-γ, as well as between an increase in the level of TNF-α and the score of depression. A connection was found between a decrease in the number of T-helpers and an increase in the TA score in the examined patients.
