Does gestational diabetes always lead you to be induced before your due date?

They are inducing me a week earlier

@xoashl3ylynnxo,

Did they say it's because of his growth or just another risk because you have it? @michaelsmommy1995

They said they don't want him to get big and hes not even big @xoashl3ylynnxo

no, my OB was going to let me go up until 42 weeks if I hadn't had my son yet. he was measuring small though because I also had HG. my water broke at 38+5, had my son at 38+6

@michaelsmommy1995, oh ok and @ginnalynn I'm glad you could go on your own I really want to experience going into labor on my own my first born was induced at 38 weeks for idk what reason. I was so young and clueless of everything

if there's no medical reason for the induction then I would refuse it personally, but that's ultimately up to you. if my son would've come any earlier then he would've been a NICU stay, so I'm glad that my ob didn't induce me early

@ginnalynn, yeah my doctor is super amazing and I'm sure he won't just do it to do it like my last one. But still I hope I can go into labor on my own and nothing crazy happens. I'm so scared now

don't be scared @xoashl3ylynnxo you're baby will come when he/she (sorry not sure what you're having) is ready. think positively and hope for the best, I wish you all the luck in the world. can't wait to see pics of your little bundle

:) ( boy) thank you so much! @ginnalynn

boys absolutely rock! and you're welcome😀
