I’m 34+3 and had a growth scan yesterday, and baby girl is already at 6lbs 9oz. The midwife said afterwards I will need to retake the GDT (passed it at 28 weeks) and that I might need to be induced a couple of weeks early.
Firstly a) I am really worried this is my fault because I’ve had such a craving for chocolate this trimester. I eat generally healthily apart from that but I do have my daily fix (and probably more than I should!) - could I have caused her size through my selfish sweet tooth?
B) will I need to be induced whether or not I have GD, if she’s particularly big?
C) If I do have GD, there would be no way of controlling it now at this point, would there? Would there be any medical treatment or is delivery the only option?
I’m very confused and although the staff were absolutely lovely it was so busy that I didn’t get much of a chance to chat to them about it.
