A member asked:
I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and ogyn wants to induce my pregnancy at 38 weeks and 3 days but today i am 37 wks 5 days and baby weights 3040 grams and his measurements are good. is it safe/ recommended to be induced or should i wait?

This is standard treatment for the situation. It is paired with fetal size estimates and other factors to reduce C-section rate. Balancing the potential that a large baby will not deliver vaginally at 40 weeks but is mature enough to deliver when smaller is part of the decision process.
