I just delivered on 17Jan. Induced due to gdm at 39weeks. Last scan on 13Jan baby’s weight 3.1kg. Admitted on 16Jan, first induce at 2pm already 2.5cm. 2nd induce 8pm still 2.5cm. Waterbag leaked at 10:40pm, sent to DS, only 3cm dilated. Next day 17Jan, Waterbag leaked again ard 4am, up 4cm dilated. Doctor helped to break waterbag and contractions got more intense from there on, also on off gas mask. 6cm dilated at 8:30am and took epidural. By 12pm, was at 9cm dilated. Safely delivered vaginally at 1:21pm. 💕 Baby girl was 2.72kg.

care to share how u manage your diet for GDM?

First delivery: My doctor suggested me to be induce due to the size of the baby and plus I had GDM. But I decided to just wait and walk alot … like really alot and lots of squats… my contractions came natural at 39weeks. Was fully dilated within 15hrs with oxytocin drip at the same time. I had smooth delivery with no episiotomy 😜 and baby was 3.7kg at the point of delivery.. so if you have the choice to wait for ur contractions to come naturally I think it would be great.

my first pregnancy, i was induced at 40 weeks 2 days due to GDM, and because i had no frequent contractions/not dilating. baby weigh at 3.065kg & 54cm, normal delivery. i was induced at 11am on friday, contractions kick in at 630pm at ward (still bearable), only 1cm dilated, by 9pm it gets more intense, so i asked for pain relief.... took gas but didnt work on me, so at 230am i asked for epidural, only 3cm dilated.. long story short, i finally gave birth at 750am on Saturday.
