    A big thing they say with GD babies is they will be big because of the GD (see link above):

    Expectant Management Versus Labor Induction for Suspected Fetal Macrosomia: A Systematic Review

    Luis Sanchez-Ramos, MD, Sara Bernstein, MD and Andrew M. Kaunitz, MD
    From the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Florida, Jacksonville, Florida.

    CONCLUSION: Based on data from observational studies, labor induction for suspected fetal macrosomia results in an increased cesarean delivery rate without improving perinatal outcomes.
    Eat low GI, exercise and follow what feels right. Mothers have a powerful intuition. None of us want our babies to die or come to harm, so we must always respect their decisions and choices.
