I was diagnosed with GDM. HbA1C turns out normal. Baseline was around your levels too, in the 36 weeks baby was only at 2.4kg? Baby came out at 3.5kg. Either baby too big or small. Can’t be induce earlier than 39 weeks. Gynae mention, can’t induce the baby too early for fear baby may be hypoglycaemia.

Because I requested to be induce early. Instead of riding it on and waiting for baby to come out naturally, I requested at 38 weeks. He mentions baby organs may not fully develop and may risk developing low sugar. When baby is out, she was put on a 3 hourly sugar check too. Just to ensure she has no issues regulating her sugar. Womb no. Once baby out of the womb then yes.
