no idea. all i got was aletter in the post saying appt next week, and also make an appt with normal diabteic nurse before then.

fundus height in relation to pg is already on the higher end, so looks like bubs will be big (30cm at 28 weeks, so am just on the shaded growth line)

i had a week of 'blooming' last week and look where it got me!

a friend of mine was diagnosed with this about 6 weeks ago misdee (she's about 35 weeks now I think). She was given great diet advice which contained it for a while but now she is having to inject twice a day I think to keep eveything under control. I saw her last night at a party and she's looking great! Her diet is soooo healthy, she'll be slimmer when she gives birth than she was pre-pregnancy so that's one plus huh?

If you have any specific questions let me know and I'll ask her for you.

Don't panic, Misdee. I had this with DS2 and just had to watch my diet. No needles.

Oh you poor poor thing.

I had suspected diabetes as welland was SO relieved when it turned out ds was just big like his Daddy. Send ing lots of "let nothing else go wrong" vibes through the ether to you.

dd2 was 9lb, so not thats big really, but am now wondering if i had GD with her, as her sister only weighed 6lb 15oz.

OP posts:
mckenzie · 14/12/2004 21:00

my friend knows she is having a boy and her second child was also a boy and a big boy (10lb something). They are suggesting that this baby will be at least as big and she will have a c section at 36 weeks. She actually looks tiny though, about 4 months pregnant rather than 6 months.

hi misdee, please don't be scared about the needles. they're really tiny - just 6 mm, honestly it hardly hurts (i inject myself 4 tiems a day). and you might not have to inject at all. the diabetes nurse should reassure you, but i'll try & answer any questions. xxxx

is it hard to control?

can i give you my blood sugar readings and tell me what u think?

OP posts:
hoxtonturkey · 14/12/2004 22:29

definitely give me blood sugar readings. don't know how hard it is to control as i have diabetes all the time & you just live with it, but it sounds like you're in good hands.

am waiting for readings!
