Literally just had this discussion with my consultant yesterday. They can only offer, it’s up to you what you feel is best for you and your baby. NICE guidelines say that for GD that is well controlled (which sounds like yours is!) there’s no need to induce before 40+6. Consultant yesterday wanted to book me in for an induction next week at 39 weeks, I said no. My diabetic midwife (the same one I speak with every couple of weeks to check in and who actually knows my numbers/me) says I don’t need to make a decision on induction til the 40+6 and even then would probably be fine to continue if I wanted to - given everything is fine with baby and me. In the end, agreed to extra checks with consultant at 40 weeks to make sure bubs is still good (basically just Doppler and feeling my tummy for position etc) and will go for another check if I decide against induction at 40+6. All to say - it’s completely up to you.
I did the same & am this pregnancy too. If your numbers are under control there’s no need for their intervention & the additional risks are so so low there’s no need.
Yeah I’m not sure why they are pushing you if your blood sugars are within target and baby isn’t big? I am only 30+6, odd raised blood sugar but no pattern (mostly within target) and baby is measuring fine, so I’m not on any medication and they’ve said that if it stays this way everything can happen naturally?
