The widespread use of assisted reproductive technologies is owed to the rapid development of biomedical science. However, progress is accompanied by a steady decline in the reproductive health of the population, so the lack of knowledge today on theoretical and practical aspects remains significant. Despite the improvement of donor oocyte manipulation techniques and the outstanding success in obstetric and perinatal outcomes in cases of pregnancies with fully allogeneic fetus, the actual data on the incidence of complications of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum period in this category of patients remain unclear.
Purpose - to analyze the results of obstetric and perinatal complications in pregnant women with allogeneic fetuses, and factors that may affect them.
This article summarizes the current data on obstetric and perinatal complications in pregnant women with allogeneic fetus, analyzes the biological preconditions for their occurrence, features of the fetoplacental complex in such patients, as well as the psychological status of pregnant women with allogeneic fetus, it’s potential impact on pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period.
