Hi sushee,

I was told Declan was going to be macrosomic all through my pregnancy and I was HUGE .. everyone asking if I was having twins etc - which I wasnt then!

He turned out to be a "normal" 8lb 11oz (large but not macrosomic) I have been on a strict low GI diet and insulin for the last trimester.

This time around I am having twins.. got GD at 7 weeks and have been on low GI before and during the pregnancy. Honestly I feel healthier when I eat low GI and have better stamina.

Goodluck and dont fret over the size thing!!
My grandma gave birth to a 14lb baby with no anisthetic and was 42! (no she didnt have GD)

I always remind myself women have been doing this for hundreds of thousands of yrs when I get worried.
