Im starting to have to think about induction. I was pre-diabetic pre pregnancy and my blood sugars have been fine so far but theyre started to creep up this week - going to go super super healthy to try and get em back down, but I think im going to have to accept that insulin then induction is the way its gonna happen.
I will want monitoring tho to check for placental aging - not gonna just believe one weak study which showed that insulin ages the placenta. How do they actually monitor it? Also once the placenta is ageing/aged, do you have time to do a 4 day induction or is it under 24 hrs then c section?
I rly want a home natural birth if I can but not sure what actual tests Ill need to ask for to check that it'll be the safest option. If I do have to be induced due to the placenta ageing Ill try and avoid any more than necessary so will have to do my research on what interventions I will and will not accept.
Meeting my Doula next week - well, hopefully she'll be my doula, so fingers crossed
