Going past 40+4 with mild GDM
Just wondering if anyone with mild and easily managed with diet and exercise GDM, with a baby that is measuring fine, has gone against the 40+4 cut off before induction/c section?
I’m 36 weeks with my second and looking to have a vbac on an MLU, and feeling like if things continue like this then I’d like to give myself 41 weeks to have the best chance of spontaneous labour.
Would love to hear from others who’ve been through/planning something similar 🙏🏼

I thought they didn’t let you go past 40+6?
I was told 40+4 but might be different other places? Seeing my obstetrician today so will find out
ah okay I might have gotten the wrong info but I’ve not been told anything by my midwife about it or anything
hiya just wondered if you found anything out? I had a diabetes consultant today and she said my next growth scan she wants to speak to me about induction from 39 weeks?
Yes my induction is now booked for 40+4 with the hope it works by 40+7. I think they’d be looking to induce early if I was getting more high readings or on medication for it.
ah that makes sense now. I’m on metformin 2x daily so the 39 weeks for me is because of the medication
