This is my first baby at 39 and I am a little scared of what is going on. We see the Dr. tomorrow, but I am still scared. I have only put on 15lb so far and just started walking again. I am 5″1 1/2 and 164.lb. I do eat fairly well, fruits, veggies, and home grown meat. I guess after the 3 hour test my score should have been under 105 and mine was 131. Just want to know what I should be doing and eating to keep my baby boy healthy. I was hoping so much to have a natural delivery and to go full term. Just hoping you gals out there would have some more info. Thanks all

Hi I am currently 38 weeks and 4 days pregnant… I have diagnosed with GD at 12 weeks and have been taking good control of my diet… my Hba1c test results are superb as they are at non-diabetic lvl…

 

My baby's weight is within the graph and my gynae is quite proud and satisfied with my progress… However, all said and done, my gynae feels tat I should go for an induced delivery or c-sec if I do not show any sign of delivery by my 39 weeks because according to him, no matter what, GD is still a medical complication…

 

I am scheduled to go for my c-sec tomorrow… I chose C-Sec over induced delivery because I heard many stories tat induced wont work and u might need to go for emergency c-sec later on and gynae usually gives u 12 hrs to dilate for induced…

 

Should I tell my gynae I do not want c-sec tomorrow as I still wan to give myself a chance of natural delivery but what if I shldnt delay anymore for baby's sake? But if my diet control is good, baby shldnt be harm isnt it? I really dont know what I shld do… Shld I go ahead and have c-sec tomorrow???

Just curious if anyone knew what the odds were that I’m going to have a larger baby…

And my doctor said that now they need to keep an eye on how big the baby is getting, I know that if you are going through natural delivery that they will more than likely opt to deliver early… but I am already having a scheduled c-section due to severe back problems.. so will they deliver early for me as well???

I just wanted to know what the odds are for me to have gestational diabetes if my mom had it with a few of her pregnancies. Thanks!
