Well had OB appt and I am not dialated at all!!! He said the cervix is soft but still closed! So he has booked me in for an induction next week on Monday - that will make me 40+5days.

Shell1 - Yes usually they do not let you go over with gestational diabetes. When first diagnosed they said me best case scenario was 39 weeks. But my sugar is under control via diet (not insulin) and bubs is only small so not all plumped up by sugar because I have been able to keep it all under control. But that is why OB was going to induce me at my due date.

But after he saw me today - he said he would rather leave me til next week. So on Sunday arvo at 5pm I am going in to get gel on my cervix, stay in hospital overnight and DR induce first thing on Monday morning.

I am happy with bubs cooking longer if she wants to!

I was indcued with first bubs at 41.5weeks (not GD) but didn't have the gel coz cervix was dialated. Anyone had the gel before and can tell me about it???
