Good steady bs are the key. I have a 5yr old. When I was pregnant I was 22 & had type 1 for 12yrs at that time. Healthy pregnancy gained 60 lbs. at 38wks my dr insisted an induction was best. I didn't want it but thought it was best. The dr tried twice to induce labor at 38 wks & 38.4wks but both failed. My cervix wasn't ready. Then labor came on at 39wks on its own. Labor was 38hrs long and cervix was only at 5cm. 10cm you're ready to push. Docs wouldn't feed me during labor to keep a steady bs, I was tired & so I had a csection. My son was healthy weighing 6lbs 10oz. He's had no health issues. I healed great after the c section. Ive always maintained an A1c of 6.0. If I could do it all over again I wouldn't be induced. I might have also snuck a snack or two here n there. Lol. It was impossible to not eat for 38 hours and have strength and energy for labor.
