[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may not apply to OP, but I wanted to make clear. Wisdom kept me with diet-controlled GD. I risked out when my blood pressure shot up and I started taking medication. My understanding is that Wisdom will keep you if your GD is controlled by diet and risk you out if you need medication (metformin, insulin, etc.).

I personally don't think this is merely to keep down their c-section rate.Midwives see easy, uncomplicated pregnancies and deliveries. They are not doctors. GD that requires medication is a serious complication and blood sugar can be unpredictable during labor (stress can raise or lower blood sugar). [/quote]

This is PP with the somewhat harsh view of why they risk out GD. I don't know that your experience is universal. I know two women who were risked out for GD and one of them said Whitney specifically said she was disappointed in her. So that's where this is coming from. That said, I don't know that woman very well, so who knows if she was putting a spin on it. Agree with you about the more serious forms of GD, but not the easier ones. If they really don't risk you out for that, then good. [/quote]
