It's ****house isn't it? It's like they just can't break free of the mindset that there are babies born outside of the *average* size with no problems at all. I've had 3 babies well over 4kgs and they were all really long too - it's just the way it was meant to be.
It ridiculous! People have been having big babies for years with no troubles, before unecesareans became routine at the mere hint of a 'big' baby. Big babies were also made long before GD was an issue, shows the kind of training those in the medical profession get now, and common sense is definitely a thing of the past.
That would get me angry too. Do any of the people makingthese comments read your notes at all because I am sure if you did have GD it would be written there intstead of them just assuming you have it.
I've never had GD but i have big babies - 9lb, 9lb 6.5oz and 9lb 14oz. My dh is hoping this one cracks 10lbs. lol I wouldn't be surprised if he does! I blame my big babies on my dh's side of the family. his grandmother had 9lb each twins. Can you even imagine??!
I have copped it this time too because Miss Firstborn was 4 kg. Two GD tests, although fortunately no further comments. Whatever. Big babies are awesome.
