Do they induce you early for the safety of the baby or mom? Can you still give vaginal birth?

I had GD and the specialist monitored my baby's progression on a weekly basis by giving me non stress tests and getting (estimated) measurements of the baby via the ultrasound. I was supposed to have a vaginal birth but baby boy decided to use his cord as a jump rope, lol. I ended up with a c-section which sounded like the best thing ever once the  contractions started going in on me in full force, lol. :)

Ok good!! My doctor may think I have GD, test next week at my 29 week appointment, I also keep measuring 2 to 3 weeks ahead every since I hit 22 weeks lol this is my 4th and have had all vaginal, I do NOT want a csection! THANK YOU :)

Yes, you can still have a vaginal birth.
