weight loss & big babyFrom: Amy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 7 Sep 2000 17:37:12 -0500 (CDT)
I am 37 weeks pregnant and have three questions: 1. In the past week I have lost 5 pounds (I have only gained a total of 11 pounds w/the weight loss). I know it's normal to lose some weight at the end. Is 5 pounds in one week okay? 2. I have gestational diabetes and at yesterday's ultrasound the baby's head was HUGE (2 standard deviations beyond what the radiologists chart registered.) His legs and arms were a little long (37-38 weeks), but smaller than his head. Is an extremely large head common with GD and is the discrepancy between his head size and his limb size anything to worry about now? 3. When do you (the doctors on the forum) begin considering inducing a mom with GD who you know has a very large baby? (EFW @3750 grams at 36w 4d) I know the only way to tell if the baby is too big is with a trial of labor, but with his head so huge and him so big, I get more scared every day! Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it.
