[QUOTE="GDM06, post: 2612187, member: 42653"] I was now type II DM, but had gestational diabetes in both my pregnancies with good glycaemic control although was on insulin. I had induction at 39+6 with my first 16yrs ago- the guideline was 38 weeks at the time. I wasn't comfortable going post-date but wanted to go closer to term as much as possible so as to reduce the chance of failed induction. I had a vaginal birth. My consultant was okay with the same as long as I was not over 40 weeks. My second 10yrs ago was planned for 39+ weeks as well but had to be induced at 37+ due to low liquor volume. I had a vaginal delivery. I work in healthcare so I am aware of the risk of IUD, but the risk is higher post-date in diabetes so was comfortable with my decision not to have an induction at 37-38 weeks. You could consider requesting sweeps from 37 weeks onwards to see if may help move things along, but I will discuss with your consultant if you are not very comfortable with induction at 37-38 weeks.
