Hi all,
I have a diagnosis of GD following a raised glucose level at the GTT. My fasting level was fine, but the post drink test was raised at 10.6. The test was not done exactly to procedure as the HCA left 2 hrs between blood tests rather than after completion of the drink (so an hour and half rather than 2 hrs) - but the team at hosp felt it still indicated an impaired tolerance to glucose and I don't much fancy a retest!
Since then have measured bloods 4 times a day and all within range - 4's and 5's the occasional 6. No meds. I asked at hospital if they always induce but they said it wasn't the time yet to discuss that in detail - so I just wondered if anyone had any experience with GD and induction or not?
This is my 5th baby and all other pregs and births have been totally straightforward home births, so I am a bit out of my depth being consultant led etc. I am obviously more than happy to have induction if that is best for baby.
Would love to hear about your experiences. Many thanks!
