A big BABY

I had to be screened for Gestational Diabetes due to the size of my baby from the detailed scan. The Glucose Tolerance Test is a horrible experience with the grossly sweet syrup (to be drank under a nurse's watchful eyes within 5 minutes) and 3 blood and urine tests. Mercifully, I was not diagnosed with GD.

The "bad" news is that baby is 1.30 kg! At 26 weeks, he is the size of a 29 week old baby. He has almost doubled in weight since the detailed scan so my gynae has specified that I should exercise more to "qualify" for natural birth... This feels like mission impossible... =(
