I'm trying to find out for my SIL whether you're more likey to have an early labour if your baby was conceived by IVF. I'm sure I've seen something about higher rates of early labour but I'not too sure whether it's down to inducment or something to do with IVF. She's 32 weeks at the moment.
Any ideas?

I think that the link is because IVF pgs are more likely to be multiple births. Neither of my IVF births were early!

She's only having one so maybe she will go the full term.

I was 2 days early with DS (IVF). However I have also heard that. The only thing I can think of is that with IVF there is no uncertainty over dates, so maybe that's why.
