- Abstract:
- Case report on a 31-year old woman with chronic schizophrenia turning to a gynaecological university outpatient clinic with her husband and asking for an in vitro fertilization. After referral to the psychiatric consultation service the patient's psychiatric and psychosocial history was taken. The issue of indication was settled by considering medicoethical aspects, general risks in respect of the course of illness in pregnancy, postpartum period, and parenthood, and the special psychological burden due to in vitro fertilization with the issues of multiple pregnancy and the dilemma of fetal reduction. The patient's course during a triple pregnancy, postpartum period and early parenthood is described.
