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

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

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 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

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’ve had 2 inductions both at 39 weeks. My first was an alright induction just not labour after the pessary was inserted I had contractions within an hour. However they weren’t regular or strong enough, so after 12 hours I needed the hormone drip. After 26 hours baby was born with emergency forceps delivery due to him being in distress (I had Cholestasis and he passed poo inside me causing him distress) my second I got induced for cholestasis, I went in and was dilated, had my waters broken, but because labour didn’t start naturally within an hour I needed the drip to get things going but I also had antibiotics due to strepB and after 9 hours of labour and gas and air he was born with just a second degree tear. And now 3rd time possible induction again. But I wish you the best and try not to worry your body is prepared for this x
