Is anyone taking insulin for gd and now baby is slightly under weight? Is 3lbs 4 oz very small for baby at 32 weeks pregnant? Feeling stressed any replies would be greatfull.

From a quick study of a chart on weight for gestational age, 3lb 4oz is between 10th and 50th percentile - definitely not alarmingly small and those percentiles correspond to a range of 6lb 6oz to 7lb 10 oz at 40 weeks. This is just me digging around a bit online, but I wanted to give you some input. Of course babies grow at different rates but that weight at that age doesn't seem worrying at all.

I just found out I have GD with my second pregnancy.  I had it with my first also.  I knew that I had a greater chance of having it again, but I had convinced myself that it wouldn't happen this time.  I know it's not the worst thing that could happen but I'm still disappointed.  I think I will be fine with it once I let it sink in and accept it.

Hi! I just found out today that I have gestational diabetes. I'm 27 weeks along. I'm not sure where to start. I have my appointment tomorrow to get more information and to get the supplies.

I am 28 weeks and just found out today I failed my three hour glucose test. my fasting numbers are normal it seems i have a hard time getting rid of the sugar when it should be dropping. They think it can be managed easily with a diet plan. I have to prick my finger four times a day. I am really scared as nervous I've never had to deal with sugar issues before :/

Hi,
Can anyone tell if I have gb according to my numbers? I failed the 1 hour at 151. Three hour results I only got the first 3 results and the final reading was still pending: fasting 88, 1 hour 200 (lab have it high), 2 hour 150 (lab have it high) and 3 hours I don't know result yet. My doc will not see my results till Monday. I am guessing my numbers fall in range for diagnoses of gb? Can anyone tell? I'm 29 weeks. Incredibly sad about it and very unsure what to do as I always thought I ate very healthy... Anyone, anything? Thanks!!
