| Willow, why we tend to have bigger babys is because they get more sugar than normal pregnancies. But if you keep you bgs down it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
My 1st I had gestational diabetes, he was 8 lb 9 and 18 days early. I did have a c-section with him but that is because my induction would not work and they wanted him out. I had low amniotic fluid. Eight months after he was born the diabetes came back for good, T1. It took my about 9 years to decide I wanted another. Was just worried to have another and everyone (not doctor) told me I shouldn't have any more.
Well it was definitely worth it. Are family is complete. Didn't realize it wasn't till Tyler came. I was closely watched, at the ob's every other week. Didn't have to go to the endo as much as long as I was doing well. They keep a close eye on me to make sure there were no problems. One thing is nice, if I called with a concern I was told to come in now and was usually right in with the dr.
I did have him exactly 4 weeks early and he was 6 lbs 11 oz. Even though he was considered premature, he was perfectly fine. I also had low amniotic fluid with him. I was put on bed rest the week before I had him to try and build the fluid up, didn't help so they decide to deliver early, another c-section by my choice.
Good luck with trying and remember it is possible to have a child while being diabetic, natural or c-section. It is the best decision I ever made and one I will never regret, unless he doesn't go to sleep tonight.
