Have anyone refused to be induced with gestational diabetes?

[Momhope15]

Hi
I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 29 weeks and am now 36. I have been controlling with diet. So far so good.
Had a growth scan and baby is measuring nicely and is not too big.
This is my first pregnancy and I am terrified of epidural and cs so would really like to have as natural birth as possible. I know birth never goes according to plan so if needs be will have an Epi and c section.

Hospital wants to induced me at 40 weeks and no more. I was wondering if anyone chose to not get induced and just wait till baby was ready.

Reason why I don't want to get induced is that I read that chances of epidural and csection are higher.

Thank you.

I know is 2 years old but more people will continue seeing it and I saw no one refusing it’s ok to say no and not allow providers treat you like an statistic we are unique individuals

I haven't had GD but I saw your comment about induction not leading to an epidural or CS,

I was induced with my first baby at 37 weeks due to high blood pressure/ poss pre eclampsia. I had no pain relief (mainly due to them not thinking I was already in labour) and didn't need a CS. I did have an episiotomy and vacuum but honestly wasn't that bad, the whole thing was just very quick. But just to reassure that not every induction ends in cs or an epidural x
