Message: <blockquote data-quote="Parks69" data-source="post: 2161217" data-attributes="member: 514517">For anyone following this thread-My daughter was born at 39 weeks. I went into labour naturally. She was born at 8.6lbs (this is normal for me) less than they had predicted the week before.There were no birth complications and they decided that I didn’t have gestational diabetes.I know that in most cases an increased abdominal circumference indicates gd but in my case I’m glad I trusted my instinct and refused the medication they wanted me to take.If I’ve any advise it is to do your research never accept an answer you’re unhappy with and trust your instinct. When I walked into the birth centre they said the consultants have discussed your case and have decided you don’t have gd. Just goes to show not every case is the same.My daughter is very healthy an excellent feeder and sleeps wonderfully. I hope no one else has the experience I did as it did spoil the last 8 weeks of my pregnancy. Thank you to everyone who responded with their own experiences it was really helpful.[emoji4] xx</blockquote>
