Hiya

My diabetes was picked up at 26 weeks. It was controlled very well, BSL's mostly perfect, i was on insulan as diet alone didnt seem to help.

I had growth scans every 2 weeks- bubs was measuring about 4 weeks ahead all the time and the scans were telling us she was about 4kg at 36 weeks. We ended up having a c-section at 38 weeks due to concern over her size.

She was 8lb14, very fat/swollen, but her BSL's were fine. She was in special care for 3 nights as i couldnt feed her and they wanted to monitor her a bit longer (she had some minor feeding issues). She was also very jaundice.

While the c-section was amazingly scary, i would not change the way we did things and believe we made the right choices with the information we were given, even tho she turned out to be a good size and not huge at all. We all know that the scans can be wrong when it comes to how big the bub is, but i just wasnt willing to take the chance.
