They kinda told me.....

Hi Cherii
If they told you that you are on the big side based on fundal hight then please stop worrying. It is very inaccurate and depends on how baby is lying ie sideways, head in pelvis, bum sticking out. Try not to let that worry you. From the scan it sounds like your baby is somewhere around the 50th percentile, I don't think she will get massive in the last month.

I really wouldn't worry if you go a bit over 6.5 for your reading, for non GD mums it is completely normal to have BSL's up to 8 after a meal with no problems for the baby, to me 6.5 seems excessively tight.

As for my induction, I guess it did the job and got the baby out but it wasn't what I had planned (labour stalled, fetal distress, epidural) and next time I will not be induced because I believe that there is no benefit to it if BSL's are controlled.

ETA, hope that didn't sound too cold. I know how much your mind is spinning at the moment and how confusing it is to decide what is best for you and bub. Another thing to keep in mind is that GD hasn't been studied properly and most data is taken from Type 1 diabetic pregnancies. The problem with that is that Type 1's have a slightly poorer outcome because the changes in pregnancy (especially 1st trimester) are a lot harder to control for them.

Good luck with everything
