    I had a big baby first time around, tested positive for first test then negative the second. But I reckon I'm just going to have big babies due to genetics. DH family apparently have babies 9lb+, so in retrospect 9lb6oz fits the bill.

    No family history whatsoever and I fit in the healthy BMI range. And I drank a lot if sweet drinks (think fizzy drinks and flavoured milk) with ds as I had such bad reflux I couldn't eat much. But totally different story this time around, so can eat things that aren't packed with sugar (as I'm not a big sweet tooth anyway).

    If men were able to have babies I would get dh to take the test - he has higher bgl than I do (usually in the 5's for fasting) and his mum has type 2 diabetes. His dad also has pre diabetes.

    So I would class my dh as higher risk than I am. If men could get pregnant that is LOL
