Thanks you Mamaspice for your quick response, I have never measured big with my othe pregnancy and they were 8 pd 2oz 8pd 1oz and my last was 7pd 6oz. I am not a small figured person, i am about a size 16 before pregnancy and i honestly think i won't be much more after i have bubs, the dr said to me that maybe i am having a big baby as i am a fuller figure woman!!!! This annoyed me abit and don't understand as I was this size for ALL of my pregnancy's and why were they not BIG babies??? Thanks for your help and i am going for my test next monday and then my appointment isn't until the following monday!!!! I amnot stressed about having GDD i am only worried about pushing a big baby out!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had vaginal births always and really don't want my last pregnancy to turn out to be a c-section not that there is anything wrong with them i jsut think it will be really hard afterwards with all my children and recovering from a c-section. My kids are 6, 4, and 2. So yes my hands will be full. Anyway enough from me, Hope all goes well with you too and thanks for helping me out !!!!!
plus it's great picking other ppl's brains!
. I agree that if they think the bubba is large on the scan there could be more pressure for intervention... so saying, those scans are notoriously inaccurate for sizing! As my obs said to me last time, if I knew bubba was big, would I still try to birth vaginally - to which I said yes I would. Have a google around it, it's worth a read. If you do end up having GD and/or being on insulin then there are different reasons for induction (around placenta health). Just so you know, my endo did tell me that GD "can" develop later, it's just that 24-28 weeks is the time it's most likely to develop, and I still don't see why you'd get it after not getting it previously.

. Is it injections? (I don't know if insulin comes in any other form). Is it helping to have your mum there?
but given I've had GD before, plus my FM for 8 years... it was more about fine-tuning. Interestingly she was more focussed on keeping my weight the same for long term Type 2 risk reduction, and telling me to eat low fat than they did last time. Last time the DE just said don't worry about the fats, concentrate on the sugars. So I had been hoping that with even more vigilance on my food, that'd keep me off insulin, but she said that honestly given I was on it last time, I'm highly likely to be again 
so that's not great, given I totally don't want to be induced... but we'll see. I feel I've got a better understanding of what to eat, plus even she was groaning at the ridiculous amounts of food restrictions in our household, so that was kinda validating. Plus I found new McCain's Sweet Potato oven fries (new) so I tried them tonight and they weren't bad - we'll see how the BSL's are!
