| I know here in Nz they also induce at 38 weeks. the reason I was given was the placenta in a diabetic actually breaks down faster than that of a person in normal circumstances.
So if you imagine: normal person is 38 weeks the placenta age is 38 weeks. Diabetic placenta age would be full term.
They induce to ensure that they lower the risks as much as possible to the baby and mother by ensuring the placanta health..
Yea, ive been TTC for 7 months, but before that i spent two years getting my diabetes under control. I was also dismayed at having to be induced as it mean that i had to have any children in hospital. SO i asked for the reason and thats what i was told. I trust my maternity care team, so I dont beleive they would lie to me.
Its disappointing for me, but its the procedure here in Nz... |
