Re: 18w5d weight

Dr Braun said in the archives that anything from 10%-90% is normal. Were you or your husband big baby's? Are you very tall or short? The most common cause of big baby's are maternal obesity and diabetes. If you're not overweight, why not go ahead and ask for a 1-Hr glucose to rule out the diabetes.

We're now in the 70th percentile (came down from the 80th between weeks 26 to 32 due to diet and insulin). My Dr is happy that all the measurements put her roughly 2 weeks ahead so she is proportionate.

Good Luck!
