T1D 35 weeks 6 days induction/labor q's

Laura

Hi ladies!

I joined glow in my first trimester but only discovered this T1D group tonight!

I would be grateful to hear any/all experiences of T1D mom's induction and labor and postpartum experiences.

My main questions:

1. Did you get induced at 37w, 38w or other?

2. Did Pitocin work? Or did you end up needing a c-section?

3. Were your blood sugars ok during labor or scary lows/highs?

4. Did your insulin dramatically decrease as soon as your baby was born?

5. Did you get to have skintoskin or did they rush baby off to NICU to monitor for babies low blood sugars?

Thanks!

Laura
