I'm kind of confused.. are all of the appointments due to pregnancy over 35? Or are they for the GD? There really is no need for all of that for GD. And honestly, if you can eat all that ravioli and not spike, your probably good to go.
My Drs are wanting to induce at 40 weeks for GD... which is a bit silly. One of the fears of GD is premature birth due to a large baby - so I guess they feel that inducing and taking a chance of baby not being ready is ok?? That was a little facetious, but it makes not sense. I have done my research and I am an informed/educated momma. I dread each appointment knowing that the medical establishment wants to intervene so often in a natural process.
Don't get me wrong, I want my baby to be safe and healthy, but I expect good medical reasons for any interventions.
It really sounds like you have your plate full and then to be diagnosed with GD on top of it. I hope that it goes smoothly!!
