Hi All. I’m 36 weeks and this week have had more trouble keeping my sugars in line. My OB said this is always possible in that the placenta “starts to run out of juice” and I may have to go on meds at the end. I’m scheduled to be induced at 39 weeks on December 17 but am really struggling with the idea of having to start using/get adjusted to meds at this point for like 2 weeks. To me, I’d rather just pull up my induction and get him out at 37/38 weeks but my doctor is hesitant to do this and wants to try to wait til 39. I fully trust my doctor but just don’t see the point of having to totally change things at this juncture and am wondering how much I should push against this/what anyone in similar situations have done with prior pregnancies?

Around 36weeks the same happened to me my ob was honest & said at this point it would be too late to start insulin as by the time I’m on it etc I’ll be closer to birth. She also mentioned induction after 39 weeks but to just keep trying my best. I’m 38weeks today so I have no idea if I’ll be induced next week I have an appointment today ����
