When I was first diagnosed by my ob with gestational diabetes, he said he didn't think I would need to be induced earlier but it would be something he would monitor as the dates got closer. My next appointment with him is this week Thursday so it will be interesting to see what he says. I haven't had a growth scan yet, I am assuming he will send me off for one to find out how big my baby is..... I have always thought from day 1 that I will be early with this baby, not sure why, just a gut instinct. Mind you I could be wrong. I would prefer not to be induced, but I just have to listen to my ob, since he knows what is best for me and bub.
