So I might be induced depending on my gestational diabetes test. Anyone else induced because of gestational diabetes?
My mom was induced at barely 36wks because my little brother was already 9 lbs! Doctor said he might have gotten to be over 13lbs if she carried to term.
A friend of mine was - she delivered at 38 weeks and her baby was 11 lbs. gestational diabetes can definitely make the baby too large.
I was induced with my son at 39weeks because of Gestational diabetes, not only was she worried about how big he was but she said with Gestational diabetes the placenta can start to wear down faster and sooner. I don't remember her exact words but that's pretty much what she meant. when my son was born he was 8lbs and 15oz.
