For me, no. My OBS said there was no reason to have a c-sect or be induced b/c my GD was under control via diet & exercise. I went 40+9 days but did end up with an emergency c-sect that had nothing to do with the GD.

OBS 'guessed' that DD would be between 7.5 - 8.5 pds.

DD weighed in at 7pd 5 oz and 49.5cms - note that my DH & I are not tall people.

I can't see why you have to have a c-sect based on what you told me.

My GF had GD with insulin & went into labour, ended up with a c-sect & her DS was over 11pd - her OBS had no idea that he would be that big.
