[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was diabetic before being pregnant and was immediately put on insulin by my endocrinologist (I didn't take insulin before pregnancy).  I was told that the recommended diabetic protocol was having frequent monitoring ultrasounds, and that they wanted the baby delivered before 39 weeks, and preferred it to be a scheduled c-section.  I was scheduled for a c-section right at 37 weeks and went into labor a few days before.  My baby was just under 7 pounds at that point, and had low blood sugar issues but we ended up supplementing with formula.  I'm flabbergasted that your doctor didn't figure out his/her discomfort with this until now.  In terms of shady grove, I guess if you're going to be scheduled early as a c-section, it's manageable.  But what a crappy situation all around!!!

My MFM is the one to make delivery date recommendations as it depends on how well my GD is managed, and they have been optimistic at my last few check ins that I'd make it to 39 weeks with a vaginal delivery. I thought my Ob would be offering me different options and manage it in conjunction with my MFM, but instead I just got dropped when I asked about options. [/quote]
