At work there are IVF pregnancies that are induced because some OB/drs suggest it as the pregnancy is "precious" and some women want their baby. It is not standard practice though.
My sonographer who saw me at 12 weeks told me, with some hoity-toity self-made authority that "your Doctor will probably induce you because you're carrying such a precious bundle." I just shrugged it off as ignorance at the time, and figured she was talking out of her a****. I didn't realise other people held that view - how scary.

DH and I, and all the MWs a the Birth Centre, treat me like any other pregnant woman. I wouldn't have it any other way.

My step-mother is a former MW, and now practices as an MCHN. She announced to me when I was 6 weeks pregnant that I wouldn't be allowed to birth in the Birth Centre of my choice because my pregnancy was considered "high-risk." DH and I jumped down her throat and demanded she show us the evidence that our pregnancy is high-risk. She could only refer to the fact that we'd conceived through IVF.

There are some things that are considered "more likely" in IVF pregnancies - like spotting, which apparently can occur because the embryo implants low into the uterus compared to natural conception. Apparently low-birth weight is also more common in IVF pregnancies, but even that is a minimal increase compared to a naturally-conceived pregnancy. Neither of those things would have any statistical bearing on induction.

FWIW, I read a lot about IVF before we took the plunge. IVF babies are not statistically more at risk of anything that can't be explained (for the most part) on pre-existing issues. IVF women are statistically older than the general fertile population, and if they're being treated for infertility, there's many reasons why that might be - which may also lead them into more treatments and interventions during the pregnancy and birth.

I *think* (IMO, at least) that some things, like C-sections and inductions, might be more common in IVF pregnancies simply because some IVF women can be more anxious, and also are so used to being put through "intervention" that they don't question the treatment they are given. Medical technology put the baby in there, why not use it to get the baby out? I think it's just a mindset, not based on anything physical.

Personally, I don't think IVF pregnancies should be treated as any different from any other pregnancy. I think pregnant women should be treated as individuals, so if any treatment or intervention is given, it should be based solely on the needs of the individual woman and her baby - not simply because she conceived through IVF. That criteria alone is a load of BS.

Bring on my vee-jay-jay birth please!
