    So I guess the good news is that your baby doesn't seem to be overly big! You must be doing a good job controlling your GD.
    My main question would be - if the baby is a reasonable size (and even if big, it's not necessarily a problem) is there any other reason you need to be induced early? Having been induced at 42 weeks I'd be very wary of an early induction UNLESS my doctor can give me a good reason why continuing with the pregnancy would be riskier.
    I wouldn't stress too much about the discrepency in size (or, try not to), good placenta, heartbeat and cord are all excellent news!
    Hope your appointment goes well tomorrow.

    Marcellus sorry to put my 2 cents in, but even women who have perfect control of their diabetes can have macro babies.
    i'd hate to think women who have had macro bubs with perfect diabetes control would blame themselves
