Large baby at 36 weeks. GD?

Question

36 weeks today, baby's belly is in 99th percentil. This makes my doctor think I have GD. 
At 26 weeks I failed the 1 hour by a hair, and passed most of the 3. The 3rd hour was over by 5 points.
Being 36 almost 37 wks I'm worried about too big of a baby, my birth process, health of baby after birth. 
Putting myself on a strict diet now but I feel like it's too late?!
Anyone else run into these circumstances this late in pregnancy?

Answer

You failed the 1 hour and the 3?! Your doctor missed a diagnosis there I think. Sounds like GD. There’s no “by a hair” or “over by 5” ... over is over and usually leads to a diagnosis. 
I failed fasting by 0.2 and got diagnosed. Passed the others.
You can’t do anything about baby size but you want to do your best to keep sugars stable throughout the day so generally recommended is 3 snack @ 15g of carbs and 3 meals with 45-60g of carbs (I usually stayed around 45)

Answer

My 4th baby I failed the 1hr, passed the 3hr. Then I was made to do a 2hr test at around 33 wks when I had an ultrasound and he was a large baby and I had mild polyhydraminos. Failed that one. It was classified as late onset gestational diabetes.
