Gestational diabetes - what was your babies weight?!

[dg93]

Hi,

I'm really interested to know what everyone's babies weights were with gestational diabetes and at how many weeks they were born?

Thanks in advance! X

Diet controlled. 41 weeks. 7lb 2oz.

8lb 4oz. They tried to induce me at 39 weeks but it failed so he arrived just 3 days before his due date.

My post meal levels were fine as I completely over hauled my diet but I couldn't get my fasting ones under control so ended up on Metformin and overnight insulin.

Wow, thanks everyone! I started insulin on Christmas Eve and they've since put my doses up 2 times already!

My original due date is 22nd Feb, but they updated my due date at the start of December to 13th February and then I was in hospital yesterday for reduced movements and they said my most updated due date is 1st February as she's growing so large - but I have one last growth scan currently booked in on the 10th so I'm so nervous about when she will be arriving...!

My blood sugar levels are still unmanaged even with insulin - it's mainly my fasting levels which is causing the issues, plus I've been getting a few hypos middle of the day which also isn't great!!

GD is so confusing isn't it!!

Have you joined the Gestational Diabetes UK group on FB? I found them invaluable 👍🏼

8lb, born at 38 weeks due to GD. Insulin controlled.
