    thanks flea & bettyboop - i was already planning another csection cause i had a feeling this baby was going to big again so at least there is a reason to why eliana was so big - at least i know its not life threatening & can be treated - will be interesting to see if i can control it with diet or need the injections - funnily enough i havent craved anything sweet but my dr said it also has to do with the way your body metabolises carbs etc
    thanks again girls

    hay melbee,

    not sure if this helps ihad it a bit with DS 6 years ago i put on 30kgs. went from 59kg to 82kgs. i was so big and he was 9 pounds exact and everyone was shocked asi am so small.
    When i fell with this bub i told my new OB about it and he said to be safe forme to go on a low GI diet this pregnancy, and im 34 weeks and only put on 8 kgs. And i havnt had much time to exercise as im too tired after working....im a hairdresser on my feet all day.
    so maybe try the low GI diet it just means you have to change a bit what you buy, andnot give into cravings, i wanted to eat a whole tub of sara lee ice cream the other night but instead had some fruit with vanilla low fat yougurt. you have to be strong but i tell you after 30kg its worth it this time around. good luck.
    love TG
