in October 2023 Babies 🇬🇧

I've got an induction date!!

So I had a follow up growth scan today and baby is still measuring in 97th percentile, which on combination with me having g gestational diabetes and requiring both metformin and insulin means that they're inducing me at 38 weeks!! Just 3 weeks away!!! Please can you share your induction experiences with me? Preferably good but if you do have a negative experience, really long labour etc I think it's important I hear about that too. TIA xo

How exciting! I’m booked in for mine next week! My baby’s measuring on the 98th! So similar… he’s already over 8lbs 🙈🙈🙈 following your post

I have GM and use insulin, so I was induced last Friday at 37+6 weeks. I'm still in hospital after 4 rounds of induction my cervix is still very much closed and they're unwilling to do more. I'm meeting surgeons tomorrow to discuss a C Section, I'm heart broken but my body can't take anymore xx

Same sort of boat as Jordan. Got inducted on Sunday, now 1:20am on Wednesday and I’ve not dilated but been getting contractions for the past 24 hours. They’re letting me get a full nights rest tonight before seeing where to start in the morning.

I have gestational diabetes but they said to me I’ll be induced 38-39 weeks with me having to have insulin but haven’t heard anything after that will they be waiting for my growth scan on. Monday as I’ll be 36weeks + 3 days or will I just wait for 40 weeks if nothing gets mentioned
