Clinical review reveals favorable maternal and child health outcomes following oocyte donation, highlighting the need to minimize multiple gestations to prevent obstetric complications.

Key Points

To review the clinical success, obstetric risks, perinatal outcomes, and child developmental health associated with pregnancies achieved through oocyte donation.
Synthesized available evidence evaluating maternal obstetric outcomes, delivery methods, and perinatal complications in oocyte recipients.
Assessed pediatric literature on post-natal physical growth, health status, and socio-emotional development in children conceived via oocyte donation.
Oocyte donation achieves high pregnancy rates but is associated with increased risks of pregnancy-induced hypertension and elevated caesarean section rates.
Perinatal complications are predominantly linked to multiple gestations, while the overall majority of singleton recipients have favorable perinatal outcomes.
Children born from oocyte donation exhibit normal physical growth, standard health profiles, and typical socio-emotional development alongside positive parent-child relationships.
