fetal baby weight .... gestational diabetes ?

Question

my baby weighed 1 lb at my 20 weeks scan after having a look in Google he shouldn't of weighed that much and measured at nearly 22 weeks , this is not normal growth for me I've had 3 tiny babies my son was 6 lb 12 at 40 plus 10 days , my daughters weighed in at 3 lb 10 oz at 34 week's and 4lb15oz at 37 weeks , I'm starting to worry about gestational diabetes ? they didn't say anything other than he's a big boy and measures top end of the scale , he had a big belly and his legs looked pretty chunky , anyone else got a big baby ? I'm not complaining as such but it's made me wonder if gestational diabetes could be a cause as to why he's so big compared to my other 3 baby's ? you can see on my scan pic how big his belly is ?

Answer

My baby weighed in at 14 pds at 20 wks. I've had 3 ultrasounds so far since I first found out, each time baby is measuring about a wk ahead. They said that its nothing to worry about, and also didn't change my due date. I'm not worried, just hoping for a healthy baby, my first child was born at 39wks at 7pds 1 oz.

Answer

Not all kids are the same I've had 3 large babies and 1 tiny. Every kids different doesn't mean all of yours will be small

Answer

No sugars have been present in my urine at appointments so far , just strange because he's a big boy I haven't had big baby's before , I'm high risk because of how small the previous baby's have been so I have to go at 28 weeks anyway then every 4 week's after that was the plan due to small baby's maybe they will cancel that if he continues  to grow this well ! there's a plus to it that he's growing well though , head circumference was 18 cm belly circumference was 16 cm x

Answer

This baby boy weight 15oz at 20 weeks, so only 1oz short of 1lb. They said it was a bit bigger but ok. Considering my first two sons were 9lb born I thought this was ok.
Two of my friend last are oregnants and their babies wigged 11oz and 12oz.
I didn't have gestational diabetes in any previous pregnancies and I have been tested with this pregnancy and it was negative again 😊 I think if you haven't had it in previous pregnancies you should be ok. Maybe later on if he is constantly measuring big they may do a growth scan around 36 weeks. This is what happened with my second.

Answer

My son was born 10 lb 9 oz. I thought I had gestational diabetes but tests all came back normal. We didn't know how big he was until he was born, I just suspected it cause I was massive.

Answer

If they measure 2 weeks either side of their date it's fine. Anything more than 2 weeks and I was told they will investigate. Have they been testing your urine at your appointments? If sugar is present in the urine this can be a sign of gestational diabetes. Unless your urine tested positive for this I wouldn't worry.

Answer

I was a big baby, I was my mums third and I was the biggest.
