Exactly. My baby is measuring big (had to have a growth scan and a GTT cos he was measuring over a month bigger than what he should be) and I don't eat too much, nor do I eat unhealthily. I don't have GD and the consultant said it's likely to be a genetic thing, because I was over 9 pounds when I was born and my dad was over 11 pounds when he was born. We just don't have small babies in our family. Don't worry too much hun
Well i dont have GD.
Also only put on 16lbs so thats good.
sonographer had said baby was on the 97th persentile and on the 28 week growth scan and i have one every 4 weeks now i think it is, i know next one is on 5th November.
Thanks guys.
I stopped eating the ice cream it was only over a few days and i am sure there are worse things to eat than ice cream?
Bp was normal on the last few tests too so thats all good me thinks!

Really is there any need to be so rude to the OP?Its lovely you dont have GD and your blood pressure is normal...this is great especially as it means you can indulge every now and again...HOWEVER...I disagree that pregnancy is a time to "be pigs" for nine months. Anyone who is pregnant should be extremely aware of what they are eating, drinking and any "other" things they put in their body, such as medication. Ice cream is perfectly fine, in moderation. Most things are fine, in moderation.
Eating "like a pig" isnt a great idea when you have serious health concerns on top of pregnancy. Im actually suprised noone has spoken to you about diet considering you have hyperemesis, preeclampsia a blood clotting problem and several other health issues which arent easy to deal with when pregnant.
Im afraid I cant sit here and go "yeah its fine, eat like a pig...why not!" when it seems detrimental to your life and the babys health. Its important for you to be as healthy as possible for the sake of your child and for the sake of YOU because the health problems you have can be SERIOUS, preeclampsia especially can be very dangerous and diet (sensible eating) plays a very large part of keeping your blood pressure under control.

She did not make this thread to have a lecture on how much ice cream she should or should not eat,also bring up things from other thread "eating like a pig" (which is generally a turn of phrase) in not great forum etiquette TBH
If she had got GD them i could understand it more, but she hasn't and even if she had you have in no way being caring in your posts, just very abrupt IMO.
You don't/didn't seem to be offering any advice as such to the OP just slating her which is really not on.
Do you have any idea what OP's diet is? have you asked her? she could be very healthy for all you know but just having a binge on icecream now and again and TBH if she was eating it 24/7 it would be nobodies business except hers.
Everyone is different in pregnancy and that is a vital thing to be remembered especially where diet is concerned
