Arrival date …

[Mrs_k2022]

Evening all, just wondering how many of your IVF babies arrived naturally on time. My dating scan is a couple of days different to what my actual due date is …and is getting close now, just pondering !

Our clinic and hospital dates were a few days different, both boys ended up being induced and arrived a few days early 🙄🙄

I remember looking for this information when I was getting closer to my due date. I think my clinic date and hospital date were the same. Didn’t end up going into labour naturally and was induced 41+5 with my little boy being born 41+6.

it’s nice to hear a story about someone going beyond term with an IVF baby. I hear so much about early induction, it’s nice to hear a story from someone who went into week 41 before being induced. Thanks for sharing!

Our EDD was about a week difference e between clinic date (1 week later) and hospital/scan date (1 week earlier). From the scans/ consultations im having at the moment everyone is just saying the EDD is a guideline anyway and they don’t want to give too much fixed advice on induction/ c-section/ etc until more like 36 weeks plus.

thanks for your reply. I was just wondering how many actually arrived at term (between 37 and 41) naturally .

Hey,I've just turned 37 weeks and have been thinking the same.

Our baby is quite big though 99th% so at the 36 wk consultant appointment we agreed an induction at 39+2. Hoping baby will naturally start to move along before that.

A friend had waters break at 37 after IVF but have no other experience to share I'm afraid.

Hope you have a positive experience xx

My baby arrived spontaneously at 40+5. I was offered induction at 40 weeks due to it being an IVF baby but declined - there doesn't actually seem to be any good evidence for induction of IVF babies. Due date was calculated from my FET date, they didmd update it following any scans.

Hi there.I had an elective c-section booked for 39+1 but she decided she wanted to come early at 38+5.Ended up in emergency section.x
