[QUOTE="kitty55, post: 2149382, member: 46543"] I am happy to report that for my pregnancy in 2015 I did the exact same research as you and came to the exact same results too. I luckily had the full support of my obstetrician at the time when I said I am not going to get induced but rather wait for the baby to make a move - my diabetic team was horrified as they had never anyone going any longer than 37/38 weeks. I however made an informed choice and waited until my baby made the move at 40+2 days and I went into natural labour. I did come to an agreement with my obs that I'd come in every day for a CTG as soon as I hit 40 weeks so on the morning I started labour I had a CGT and also a scan and went to the labour ward that afternoon. I always said if there is any reason whatsoever due to which I can't just wait and the baby has to come out I will happily get induced but thankfully it wasn't necessary. I have been 48hrs in labour at the time and ended up with an emergency section due to the baby sitting in a slightly awkward position and his pH levels being off at some point. This didn't have anything to do with me being type 1 though obviously. I stayed the whole time on my pump/libre combi and avoided a sliding scale too. It will be your baby, your body and your choice!!!! Good luck and if you have any questions shout. No one can force you to be induced!!! xx [/QUOTE]
