Abstract
in this study, GDM infants were more likely to be induced and delivered earlier but otherwise they did not have significantly different neonatal outcomes compared to infants of NGT mothers. This can be attributed to the good GDM control by lifestyle modification and insulin if necessary. The role of labour induction in GDM pregnancies should be further investigated. Midwives have an important role in maternal education during pregnancy and in the postnatal period.
