    I had the test first time, didn't have GD and had a 4.3kg baby.

    Didn't have the test second time and had a 4.7kg baby. I don't believe I had GD second time either- lo & behold it's actually possible to just healthily make "big" babies!

    From the reading I did I don't hold much faith in the test, nor the idea of GD as a 'condition'.

    This is what I would like to know too.

    Yowie - I see what you are saying I think that the midwife would be able to feel if the baby was getting extremely big though - for its gestation? That's what I figured anyway, I'm probably wrong!! lol
