My little daughter was born yesterday and I'll write a little birth story about it when I get home.

I was delighted and surprised to find out her weight was only 6lb 13oz and 49.5cm long. I was expecting much bigger due to GD and have had to have hubby bring in a couple of Miss 3's old 00000 outfits!

Also beside a low sugar BSL not long after birth, all her other BSL's have been excellent and she's taken to BF which is great. Also no other GD complications. I didn't realise they would be checking mine also and so had a bit of an M&M overload yesterday afternoon lol. When midwife came to take my BSL he said lets see how I handled the M&M challenge. LOL. 4.7!!!!! I'm back baby.

But I have learnt alot about healthy eating through having the GD which I will be continuing because I don't want to develop type 2 so I'll enjoy the choccy for a couple of days then rein it in again.

I hope this is encouraging for you other GD Mums that good control doesn't mean higher risk. Good Luck everyone.
