    Wow, no real advice, perhaps they measured wrong?

    FWIW, I've been told I have GD and the hospital is concerned bub is to SMALL... So the opposite!


    It's certaintly a strange one! I mean of course if I have it, then i totally accept it and will manage it best I can - im more concerned about the babies size!

    Late scans are notoriously inaccurate. Take a deep breath honey. Try and take it easy and wait for your blood test results.

    On another note,

    Why would some women have a tolerance test and others the challenge test, i had to have 3 blood tests today - which i think is the tolerance test. Does this mean they suspect I have it and want it confirmed?

    sometimes it just depends on teh doctor ordering the test. Hope all is well. 3 weeks isn't a massive difference - I wouldn't jump to change due dates at this point, either, since late scans are notoriously unreliable. Not unless you're very uncertain about your original dates.

    Thanks guys

    I just about fell off the table when she told me suddenly it was april 11th down from may 1st! the 6week scan was TV, which is where may 1st came from.. which as far as i know the hospital doctor is sticking with. Im quite mad actually that the sonographer (who i dont believe did a thorough enough job at measuring) told me i could have diebetes because the baby is "so big".. to be honest i dont feel any bigger then any other 28wker..

    I had GTT (2 hour test, 3 lots of bloods). I'm told its more reliable then the 1 hour GCT

    As others have said, early scans are the most accurate for edd
