they did not say anything about the baby
having it i didnt even know the baby could
they just said that they would monitor the
baby blood sugar when he comes out and get
me to feed him straight away cause his
levels could be low

hmmm
the glucose test is to detect gestational
diabetes.
and its to detect a HIGH blood sugar
condition
did they give you a glucose tolerance test
yet?

yeah im not sure
you need to ask your doctor
they should ahve told you WHY
they usually dont just say "oh were going
to induce you at 38 weeks"
they have a reason why and you should ask
them first thing

My friend has diabetes when she was
pregnant and she ended up having a 12
pound baby. Thankfully it was by
c-section. But I think that they are just
taking precautions because of the risk of
having overly large babies.

usually when a woman has diabetes, they
have large babies. Hence, they like to
induce them if possible (meaning lungs are
developed). That may be why, and the fact
they keep saying he's a 'big baby'.
DON'T WORRY! and GOOD LUCK!

they do induce for larger babies do to the
fact that over 9 lb babies can have
complications when in labor.
I was 12 and a half lbs and my mom had me
vaginally.
By the way, the MOTHER has diabetes, not
the baby.
Women with diabetes have larger babies, to
reduce risk in labor (they want to prevent
a section) they will induce.
I had an induction date with Bree but she
came early.

Do you have anything else going on like
Pre Cleamica (sp) Toxzema (sp) High BP
