How often are women with gestational diabetes induced?
I am 31 weeks pregnant and found out last week that I have gestational diabetes. It has popped up from no where as I am not in a high risk catergory except for the fact that my grandmother has low level type 2. Last week I was given a diet plan and have to test my blood sugar 4 times daily. My blood sugar levels have been fairly good (only highish twice) and I have been following my meal plan. However im still concerned about the risk factors (i.e. large baby, baby with hypoglycemia etc). I haven't been for a scan since 20 weeks so I have no idea how big bub is and my midwife isn't really giving much away as to whether I may need to be induced to lower the risk of a large baby. I am just wondering how many women have had to be induced or not due to gestational diabetes, and if their blood sugars where controlled or not.
I had gestaional diabetes with my first son. I had to control my diet, I didn't have to use insulin. They diagnosed me at 28 weeks and I didn't have any risk factors except that my grandma has type 2. They gave me an ultrasound at 37 weeks 6 days to measure how big he was. They estimated him to be 9 lbs 2 oz so they scheduled a c section for 3 days later because the doctor was worried about shoulder dystocia. He was born weighing 10 lbs 3 oz.
