But if you39。 ve ever been pregnant(~v)~2)~)yourself, one thing is certain: You wonder what it39。 s like to carry a testtube baby. Are these pregnancies normal? Are the babies normal? The earliest answers e from Australia, where a group of medical experts at the Queen Victoria Medical Center in Melbourne have taken a look at the continent39。 s first nine successful 39。 in vitro pregnancies.

Six of the nine were delivered by Caesarean section (剖腹产手术 ) . Andone baby, a twin, was born with a serious heart defect and a few days later developed lifethreatening problems. What does it all mean? Even the doctors don39。 t know for sure, because the numbers are sosmall.

Most of the mothers were older, had long histories of fertility problems and in some cases had had surgery on the fallopian tubes, all of which made them likely candidates forCaesareans anyway. The Australian researchers report that they are quite encouraged. All the babies are nowmaking normal progress even the twin with the birth defects. 41.
