Since being diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I'm feeling quite uneasy about having the baby at home, so I am going to go into hospital.
What do you think the chances are of a 6-hour discharge? Has anyone had this with a GD diagnosis in pregnancy? What do they do about monitoring sugar levels? The diabetes midwife said they'd probably only need to test once - is that your experience?
Also still want a waterbirth, am just hoping there are the staff on to do this, like they were last time (I hadn't realised how lucky I was last time to have two midwives with me throughout labour...!).
