I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes a few weeks ago. After a couple of spikes, dr. wanted me on glyboride. My last 3 ultrasounds, my son has been breech. As of 35 + 3 days, he's weighing 7 lbs 8 oz (90th percentile). There are high levels of fluids which doc said is typical of gestational diabetes but not good. Today, at my NST, I had to eat a popsicle to get him moving more. At my appt, doc said if he hasn't turned in 2 weeks, they will try to turn him, otherwise they'll schedule a c-section. To be safe, she has me getting NSTs twice a week. She also said to be prepared for him to have low blood sugar when he's born. If they can't get it regulated, he'll be transferred to the children's hospital.

I know this is all for both of our safety, particularly his. I'm not complaining about doing the precautions. I'm just so nervous because I want him to be healthy. My daughter was born with a congenital heart defect that was undiagnosed until after she was born. It all just makes me scared to go through complications again.
