GDM (Gestational Diabetes)
So today I found out I have GMD because I’ve got an extra fluid and baby is measuring two week bigger than she should be when looking at the scans when they measure.. I’m already scared for birth and as I speaking with the midwife she explained a little and said that i could end up going into early labour if necessary. Now I’m scared because I did the one thing I tried not to do and googled and did some research, a C section is the last thing on the cards for me but it’s more of a possibility of complications are there. All I’m wondering and please no judgement.. has anyone else had this problem but still ended up with a small newborn? I’d love her no matter her size but I’ve read 9 pounds and over and I’m only a small build person, so the thought of my down below afterwards worries me more.
Hi, I haven’t or didn’t have GD. However had a big baby on every scan. I did, have a 9lb 8oz baby at 38 weeks with a planned section, born 98th percentile and expected 99th percentile born at due date. My c-section was pushed by me, and I was told I would have needed an emergency if I hadn’t had the planned. I’m 5’7 and a size 18 with my first and this baby (awaiting first growth scan on Monday).
