IVF mummies, were you encouraged to induce early?

Hi IVF mummies, my gynae encouraged me to induce at about week 38. He was saying that the risk of stillborn is present (for all birth) and also encouraging me to go for Csect. He said that ivf babies are hard to have and want to take all the precautions to have a safe birth and baby. I am currently at 29weeks and not having any complications so far. So I am not very sure should listen to the doctor or not. Even if i am going to induce, I would still want to go for natural birth instead of Csect, unless the situation forced for it. Would like to know whether anyone's doctor have the same stand?

private drs will push for c-sec sometimes even tho unnecessary cos can earn more. you can seek a second opinion if you wish..
