She will be 36 weeks pregnant on friday and has a growth scan on the 15th dec due to gestational diabetes. It wasn't very controlled and now she is on insulin 3 times a day. She wants to know whether they will induce her and how soon after the scan? They have mentioned they will at 38 weeks, but i told her its around xmas day that time and now she is even more anxious (my big gob) so i am asking what may happen so i can prepare her. Tell me what you all know. thanks x

What a good question and bednobs is correct. Let us look at this very simply.....a woman, 36weeks pregnant with uncontrolled GD ( we don't know the age of the patient or whether she is a primigravida) Scan on the 15Dec ( one week before Xmas) my guess would be, depending upon the size of the baby, they will induce her or offer her a Caesarian section within 24 hours...

it's utterly impossible for anyone here to say as it will depend on what happens between then and now!

Look at it this way: who wants a woman with uncontrolled GD with a big baby hanging about still undelivered at Christmas?
Get my point?
