[QUOTE="jade88, post: 1269648, member: 94479"] Hi Artemis as Azure says no one can force you to be induced but there are several reasons why diabetics are induced. As well as the risk of still birth the placenta of a diabetic mature quicker and can begin to fail also diabetics can often have bigger babies (my boy was 9lbs at 38weeks) so if I had gone full term I prob would have had to have a c-section - his size wasn't picked up on growth scan and my control was excellent so even if all is going well I'm personally glad I had induction! It's also nice to be in hospital throughout because your monitored closely and there's no rush to get to the hospital in time - also by the end I was just so anxious and just wanted him here safe so I was quite happy to be induced! I was lucky and responded well to induction things progressed quickly and I was able to have a natural birth I know others have had more difficult experiences. The most important thing to remember is it's your body and your baby so don't feel pressured to do anything your not comfortable with however the doctors only do what they think is best for you and baby. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! xx [/QUOTE]
