[quote=Anonymous]Just got the news that Ob (pretty well known on this forum) that he has not delivered many insulin dependent GD patients at Sibley, so he brought up the possibility of me going to either Georgetown or GW and just let any doctor on the floor deliver me there since they have more experience with GD patients. He said he does not deliver at any other hospital besides Sibley's. This is an absolute shocker. I'm 35 weeks and not sure if any other Ob will take me at this point.

Background on my GD: I've been seeing an MFM twice a week along with my Ob, at first it was hard to control with diet and exercise, so I've been put on bedtime insulin. Not a high dosage and numbers have been very good. MFM wants to see me make it to at least 39 weeks, however, the baby is pretty big at 99th percentile, so I think that's scaring my Ob because he keeps talking about a 37 week induction, but I'm hesitant because I'm worried about the baby's lungs being underdeveloped.

Anyone with similar experience, or had a great Ob that delivered a big GD baby with no problem? Any recommendations on what to do? Thanks!![/quote]
