I'm 40 & after a long 6 year journey am currently 24 wks pg via IVF.
Fit & healthy, normal bmi, normal blood pressure, no complications to date, despite the heartache getting here it's been a pretty text book pregnancy so far, she's been a pretty active baby for the last 6-8 weeks!
They pulled my due date forward by 3 days at my 12 week scan due to measurements rather than date of ivf 'conception' which is fine but I still feel a bit like my true due date is the scientific one if that makes sense?
I've been told now by 2 midwifes & 1 doctor that they will induce me on my new due date, and apparently this is not up for discussion or something for me to consider - all they say is that's what they will do 'because of my age', end of conversation...
It's driving me a bit mad to be honest!
Can Anyone shed any light/help with some advice really?
of course if there were complications or there was an immediate health risk to either of us I'd not think twice but I feel like I'm being forced into a medical intervention without being given any choice, or even any information! NHS website says 42 weeks for induction & that it's entirely your choice, which is totally different to what I'm being told
Sorry I think that turned into a bit of a rant

Getting a bit sick of being told I'll be induced at 40 weeks & that it's not up for discussion!
