Elective CS or VBAC with Gestational Diabetes?

[black_rose]

I had a similar situation was all ready to have a vbac until diagnosed with gd at 32 weeks. My ob planned for me to have a c sect as I was put on insulin then taken off it due to a reaction. I was resigned to having to give up my vbac dream.

In the end though I went into pre term labour at 35 weeks, I was put onto medication in the hope that I made it too 38 weeks. At 37 weeks my waters started to leak. My ob let me progress through the labour but he had me prepped for a c sect jic. In the end I gave birth by vbac 45 minutes after my waters were fully broken. Dd was on the smaller side at 2.75 kilos and had to be admittted to the scn because I had been on insulin even though I wasn't when she was born, her sugar levels were all fine.

So don't give up hope, fingers crossed you go into labour on your own.

WRT bub needing to be under 4kg - I am assuming this is his preference for VBAC - Pie was 4710g. So it isn't necessarily an issue.

Hugs to you & all the best whichever way you go. I have no doubt you will make the choice that is right for you

I agree with Fleur. Oh and about the "not labouring before" - I hadn't either remember

Try not to think about it too much - and just go with the flow love. Whatever will be - will be

Love you xxxxx
