Gestational diabetes could be controlled with metformin, plus you also have to control it on your end as well.
My sugar levels are always very high and baby measured big but they still decided to induce me in 39 weeks or if c section in 39+5 week.
So don't worry, They aslo dont take risk with your health and baby. Just keep the track of baby movements.
In this type of situation, can we request for C section directly? I mean without trying to induce?
yes you can request but they will still increase the dose of metformin, if not controlled they will offer you insulin, also it depends on the hospital if they have slot available for c section they can give u the date after 38 weeks.
Currently going through the exact same thing now. I was told at my hospital that they don’t push for C-section as a reason for diabetes but depends on the overall weight of the baby. But you can still have a C-section if that’s what you want.
I’ve also been told still a possibility of me having a spontaneous birth and have no problem as my babies weight is normal just the tummy is big.
I think it’s overall so hard with GD birth plans because it depends on medication, overall weight of the baby , head to ac ratio, and at what stage you were diagnosed x
Feel free to dm me if you have any questions x
