[QUOTE="dancer, post: 1520163, member: 110569"] It's the usual story, everyone is different. With my son, all went quite smoothly till about 6 weeks before he was due. The only problem was that I wasn't putting on enough weight, so was told to increase my carbs. About 6 weeks before he was due, on a ward visit to maternity hospital, my BP was high. Half an hour later it was normal (very hot day, bumpy ride on bus and walk uphill to hospital) so not unexpected. Consultant said I could go home but wanted me as in patient the following week. Every time BP was taken for next 5 weeks, I was told it was fine. I was induced at 39 weeks +2. Baby was 8lb 2oz and needed treatment for jaundice a few days after birth. With my daughter, my BGs were dreadful - unexpected highs and lows all over the place. I was induced one day after her expected date and she was fine at 8lb 3oz. My BG didn't get back to normal, even when I stopped breast feeding. The diabetic clinic seemed to ignore my worries about this for decades, but I think my coeliac disease started during my 2nd pregnancy and wasn't discovered till my daughter was 27! [/QUOTE]
