[QUOTE="dje55, post: 2223946, member: 392659"] Hi there, Congrats on your pregnancy. Unfortunately the rate of stillbirth at term for women with diabetes remains higher than the general population. This does not seem to be reliant on blood sugar control. The placenta forms and develops differently for women with diabetes, again despite good blood sugar control. These are the reasons why you have been offered induction a couple of weeks earlier. Not because you have been lumped together with those whose control is less than optimal. The guidelines are available on NICE website, they are called NG3. Hope this helps. It's always your choice, and you're right, they can't force you to have an induction. Monitoring in labour is recommended because of the placenta changes too. I have had two induced labours with monitoring and normal deliveries. Was not tethered to the bed for either! Speak to your diabetic specialist midwife or consultant midwife at your hospital to explore all the options. [/QUOTE]
