Any IVF mamas here?
I just had my 32 week midwife appt and was told it’d be induced at 39 weeks because it’s an <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> pregnancy. Apparently there’s been some studies that show women who got pregnant with <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> tend to go overdue and they want to avoid complications that come with that and stillbirths 😳 (it was great hearing that word in the same sentence as <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>). That’s something I wasn’t aware of, and since I was hoping for a natural unmedicated birth, the thought of being induced for no medical reason and forcing my body and my baby to do something they’re not ready for doesn’t sit well with me. Any of you <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> mamas have been told the same thing? I wonder if it’s only the case in the UK. Obviously I want what’s best for my baby and I’d rather be safe than sorry, it’s just not something I was expecting or even gave any thought to before. If you could share your experience with induction that’d be great too! Just no horror stories please, I’m already on edge about this 😅
