I posted yesterday about my big baby (3750g @36wk 4days) and my 5 lb weight loss in 1 week. Dr. Montgomery said that it is normal to lose weight when beginning a diet for GD, but I have been on my GD diet for 7 weeks now--Is a 5 lb weight loss in 1 week still an acceptable amount of weight to lose in the end of pregnancy?

My second question: During a BPP today the doctor said that I have a grade 3 placenta with the beginnings of some calcifications. I am 37 weeks today--is this normal? Are there any risks to having an Aging placenta early?

Third, what are normal amniotic fluid levels? (I measured at 7 today which my doc said was low normal. Is this anything to worry about?)

Thanks for your help!
