Dr. Naheed Akhtar Rana · Answer

No it is not necessary to deliver you by C/S, but their are few things we need to check,                                             Your blood sugar level s,         medication you are on.                Growth of your baby.                      Water around your baby                         if your blood sugar level are not well controlled or baby is very big or more water around the baby                          or if you are requiring insulin in large amounts to control your blood suger than you might need induction of labour at 38 weeks of gestation
