Don't know what to think?!

Okay ladies, I'm hoping you can give me some hope and cheer. I have had a 100 complaint free pregnancy so far. I am 26 weeks. I just recieved a call from the doctors office, and the doc said he wants to see me sooner than my scheduled 29 week scan because baby "looks small and is only in the 11th percentile for size." I believe he meant her weight. Every time I get a scan, the ultrasound tech says she measures pretty nicely and has a nice big tummy.

Of course, I'm in a panic. Too small? This is the first he's mentioned anything. He also said I have to take the 3 hr glucose test since I failed the 1 hr by 3 points. I don't know how that's possible because I eat SO healthy and exercise.

Thoughts? I'm sad and feel like my carefree pregnancy days are gone

Gestational diabetes doesnt have anything to do with your diet or how fit and healthy you are unfortunately. I don't know a whole lot about it, but do know a lot of people who fail the 1hr one then go on to pass the 3 hr one. So I hope thats the case for you.

In terms of baby's growth....they will probably offer more frequent growth scans to make sure she is growing well, but if its not been mentioned before I would try not to worry too much. She may just be a small bubba. Or do all her growing at the end.

I don't really have any advice on either of ur questions but just wanted to say congratulations andto wish u the best of luck for the rest of ur pregnancy. Xx
