Measuring big?

Amy • UK 🇬🇧 Married 💍 Mummy to Emilie 👶🏻 Secondary Teacher 👩🏻‍🏫

Hi everyone - this is my first pregnancy and I’m probably asking stupid questions but I think I just need either some straight talking (if this is something to worry about) or some reassurance (if I don’t need to worry)

I’ve been for my 25 week midwife appointment where she did the fundal measurement. It was the first one as all other measurements up to this point were done in the scan. Basically at 25+1 she said in measuring more at 27 and a half weeks.

I’m a bit worried about what this means. She didn’t seem overly concerned by equally did say “oh that’s fine nothing to worry about”

I’ve got a test for gestational diabetes next Friday anyway because we’ve got diabetes in the family, she said that could be a reason why. I think I’m just worried about what measuring big could mean, and if I do have GD, what are the potential consequences of that? How do I manage it on a day to day basis?
