[quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc][quote=Anonymous]I remember your doctor also being so sure that you would have GD just based on your weight, right? It sounds like she is just super sensitive/anticipatory when it comes to overweight women. Maybe she just errs too much on the side of caution for whatever reason. I have no experience with pre-e or HELLP but I HAVE been induced before and even if you have to go through an induction, they're really not *that* bad! I was a FTM and my induction resulted in a labor that was 12 hours, start to finish, with only 14 minutes of pushing and no tearing or episiotomy. Healthy 6 lb 12 oz baby. So, even if she does try to schedule an induction, try to remain positive that it can still be a totally fine birth experience! [/quote]

thanks for this - it makes me feel a bit better.

Yes, I've taken two GD tests, passed both with flying colors.  I'm also not a fan of the "what should I eat to pass my GD test" questions because if I HAVE an issue, I want to KNOW so it can be managed for the healthiest pregnancy possible.

Maybe I've read too much about inductions and epidurals for my own good  lol[/quote]

Yeah, I think you are probably a little too fixated on inductions and epidurals. Inductions actually go better for preeclampsia and high BPs than the general population. My induction was fine - epidural was fine - it was all fine. Of course you should make sure you are comfortable with your care, but don't catastrophize.[/quote]
