GD and birth

I had GD with 2 previous babies
They induced first time at 40weeks and baby was 8lbs 4
Second time I was induced at 39weeks because of extra fluid. Baby was 8lbs 13

I would say unless there is a genuine medical reason for the induction that isn’t just the size of the baby then you don’t need one?

Induction is hard work and can lead to a longer labour so make sure they give actual medical reasons for one!

You'll need to check with your own midwife but my personal experience is first baby, measuring 53 percentile, GD, 36 weeks. They've said I won't go longer than due date +5 but not necessarily will need an induction unless baby is late. I've still got birth centre options for natural birth.
