As the title says i have a consultant appt today. I got diagnosed with GD at 33 weeks and only found out cos i had a babybond scan at 31 weeks and it showed baby was big so they recommended getting a Gtt so went to see diabetic team and have to test blood sugar 1hour after meal and had to try to diet control but this didn't work so got put on metformin with evening meal did this for a week but levels were still high so up tablets to 2 A day and they said they would refer me back to consultant and i would probably get induced at 38 weeks so went to my normal midwife appt yesterday and she checked to see if a growth scan and consultant appt had been made and it had for when im 38+2 so she wasn't happy with it being so late esp if i need to be induced but could not re-arrange as they were fully booked then she took my bp and it was 130/100 3x so she sent me to day unit to get me and baby monitored so off i went and me and baby were fine and midwife had written in my notes appt being so late so they squeezed me in yesterday for a growth scan and babys estimated weight already is 8lbs and they also managed to get me in today with a different consultant as she luckily had a cancellation while i was there so im hoping to get a date for my induction but after watching OBEM last night where baby got stuck i might ask to either be induced next week as we know baby is ot too big at the mo but if they want me to go another 2 or more weeks to have a c-section as i don't want to run risk or baby being over 10lbs and getting stuck what do you ladies think is this a good decision? I know it won't be down to me but think i have a good argument for what i want esp with the GD and the high bp I've had up and down since booking.
