A baby conceived through in vitro fertilisation in which the mother\u2019s ova are removed from the ovaries, fertilised with a man\u2019s spermatozoa in a laboratory, and returned to the mother\u2019s uterus to continue developing in the usual way.<\/p>\n

\n

A baby born to a woman as a result of fertilization of one of her ova by her husband’s sperm outside her body. This technique, pioneered in Britain, resulted in the birth of a live baby girl in July 1978. It is useful when the woman has blocked fallopian tubes or some similar defect in the reproductive system. The mother-to-be is given a short course of hormones, causing several ova to mature at the same time. Several ova are removed using a laparoscope. The ova are mixed with sperm in a culture medium and incubated until the blastocyst forms. The blastocyst is then implanted in the mother’s womb and the pregnancy continues normally thereafter.<\/p>\n

A baby born to a mother whose ovum was removed, fertilized outside her body, and then implanted in her uterus. The term is colloquial.<\/p>\n
