[QUOTE="PrincessDolly, post: 2688303, member: 555903"] Hello I had gestational diabetes that was undiagnosed 21 years ago - my baby was just under 12 lbs full term (induced) and I am very grateful she and I survived the birth which was vaginal - but she got very stuck and the birth was extremely traumatic and caused lasting damage to my body that included surgical repairs a year later and issues that continue till today. I am now type 2. Being induced isn’t great, but the extra monitoring is really really good. I knew my baby was very large, and I had sugar in my urine at every visit but nothing was ever done-wish I had had the confidence then to push for more monitoring and scans and for a section but it was during a period where the big push was towards “normal birth” & I was much younger. There isn’t much discussion about childbirth injuries but they are real and long lasting disabilities can result. I do hope you get the birth you want - be confident. [/QUOTE]
