Looking for thoughts/advice from women who have had a child through ICSI

I’m pregnant with my first after having ICSI and am now 34 weeks. The consultant has offered induction from week 39, but I think I want things to happen naturally. Did anyone else get offered to be induced because of ICSI? And if so did you choose to do it or not do it? I’ve read that it can increase your chances of needing further interventions during labour and increase your chances of having a cesaerian. Just wanted some thoughts from ladies that have been through this choice already. Thanks

Maybe try a pregnancy specific network on here - not ivf/ICSI for more specific advice?

I’m ivf 37+3 and being induced at 38 weeks (Friday) due to baby’s small growth. I had just a natural drug free and water birth set for me but that’s not to be.

I know it’s induction may not be planned but seriously you are pregnant with a beautiful baby after much trying. X
