Wait or induce at 38 weeks for gestational diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two approaches for people with gestational diabetes: waiting for labor to start naturally versus inducing labor at 38 weeks. The goal is to see if one plan leads to better outcomes for both mother and baby.
