Induced Early because of Gestational Diabetes?

Question

Hi,
I was wondering if I'd have to get induced earlier due to being diagnosed with GD? So far I've been doing good with my diet and my numbers are great & baby is healthy but measuring a week ahead.. do you think I'll have to be induced earlier or will my doctor just let me have a natural/waiting birth? 🤔I'm almost 35 weeks and still working so I'd love some feedback!

Answer

Likely they will induce. Mine ended up coming early on his own but induction was the plan.

Answer

I'm diet controlled for my GD, I'm 37 weeks and 1 day today and I'm being induced tomorrow because although I've managed my levels with diet my baby is measuring bigger than she should

Answer

Depends on the doctors policy most are deliver by 39 weeks with meds sooner. I have GD and having baby at 37+6 insulin dependent GD.

Answer

I had gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy (and suspect I will with my second) and used insulin to control it. My doctor induced me at 39 weeks. I also felt that being induced meant it took longer for my milk to come in- did anybody else experience that?
