Hi Krikkit

I GD with DS (diet controlled) and DD2 (insulin dependent).

Both pregnancies with GD my babies measured 'large' and stressed out the Ob and endocrin enough to want to induce me. I was induced at 38 weeks with DS (with cervidil - it wasn't a really positive experience and took 3 days before he was born). DS was born weighing 3.8kg which I did not think was overly large since my DD1 (who I did not have GD with) was also 3.8kg when she was born after a spontaneous labour at 39 weeks. They referred to him as a large baby though, even after he was born.

With DD2, I was booked in for a c-section at 38 weeks 4 days as she was footling breech and also 'extremely large'. I beat them to it by 3 hours by going into natural labour and dilating to 9cm in 45 mins. They gave me an injection in my tummy to stop my labour and gave me a c-section as it was too risky to let my waters break with her being footling breech. She was 4.1kg when she was born, but I still don't think that is HUGE, apparently it is.
