Hi all,
I'm confused. I'm 34 weeks pregnant and we ve been told by the hospital that they would not recommend going over due date because we did IVF to achieve this pregnancy. Implication seems to be that doing IVF makes you 'High risk' even if there are no other complications. My issue is that I was hoping for a water birth and being induced would not allow this, might make labour longer and more painful and could even end in a c section! I don't want to put my baby at risk of course, but I can't help but be unsure about this policy- especially when I know that other hospitals do not follow it! To be honest the dr we saw today also made me feel like a bit of a freak because this was not a natural conception- which I could have done without to be honest!
Any thoughts from anyone?
