Hi,
Just asking a little advice and if anyone has experienced anything around this topic.
I conceived my first child via IVF and am due 26th December.
I had a consultant appointment when I was 31 weeks after a growth scan discussing the possibility of an induction from 39 weeks/due date. He said there is evidence that the placenta doesn't work as well towards the end in IVF pregnancies. Something along these lines... however- I have not found any evidence to support this.
I have been in for reduced movements multiple times also (5 times since 28 weeks and I'm now 35 weeks). They monitor me twice weekly with ctg and scans now.
Every CTG and scan has shown everything is normal. My placenta sits along the front of the baby so this may be a reason for reduced movements but cannot be blamed if that makes sense.
I've also had growth scans which show baby is following the line. He's actually jumped centiles to 90th.
Anyway.. my question is. What would you do?
Would you take an induction? Or continue to get monitored and wait for Labour to occur naturally.
I'm unsure what to do for the best. I don't want to put the baby at risk by declining an induction. But I'm also informed there are other risks with induction which need to be taken into consideration.
Sorry for the long post! Hope somebody can help.
