Currently 32 weeks pregnant with our IVF baby, and my doctor has started talking about inducing at 39 weeks if I don’t go into labor naturally before then. She mentioned there can be increased risks with IVF pregnancies going past 39 weeks.

Of course, baby’s health and safety is the top priority, but I would really love the chance to go into labor on my own if possible.

For those of you who were planning for a 39 week induction, did you do anything in the weeks leading up to encourage labor naturally? Walking, curb walking, dates, raspberry leaf tea, bouncing on a ball, etc.? Did anything seem to help, or did you just wait and see what happened naturally?
