GD and BIG babies....how often??

[Linzy]

I had GD with my first boy and it was diet controlled he was 7 pounds, GD with my daughter insulin dependant and she was 6.9 pounds and now this one I'm GD again going on insulin tomorrow and I'm measuring 2 weeks behind so maybe another average/small baby

My GD was pretty bad and couldn't be controlled with diet alone (I put on 1kg in the entire pregnancy and was really strict with what I ate). I was on insulin.

My GD baby (DD2) was 6lb 11oz.

My non-GD baby (DD1) was 8lb 10oz.

Go figure

My non GD baby was 9 days overdue and 7lb 12 (3.5kg) and my GD baby (diet controlled) was full term, they wouldn't allow me to go over.... Was 6lb 13 (3.1kg)

Go figure that one too!

I had a friend with GD and after her scan they told her omg shes measuring 5kgs + blah etc, and her baby was born at 4kgs.

Don't panic at all, and dont let your OB pressure you too much. Unlikley the baby is going to be so large you cant get it out
