They promptly sent me for a GD screening the next day which came back completely normal. If it'd help assuage your fears, ask your doc to get your screening sooner rather than later. I'm now 39 weeks pregnant and baby is a normal size-my guess is he will be healthy but not huge! Good luck:-). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-and-diabetes#post-1930551 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 10:09:10 +0000 SeptMomma12 1930551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not have diabetes, but my baby was always measuring 2-3 weeks ahead, beginning at the anatomy scan. They remarked at the anatomy scan that his head was big, but I don't recall any questions about diabetes. He was just a big kid - born at 8lbs 14oz and 22 inches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-and-diabetes#post-1930190 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 00:13:27 +0000 lilteacherbee 1930190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have gestational diabetes, your baby has a good chance of being bigger, but not always. I did have GD and my baby measured 3-4 weeks ahead the entire time. Before I was diagnosed at 28 weeks, I was asked at every ultrasound if I had diabetes because he was measuring large. He was born at 39 weeks and was almost 9 lbs and had a huge head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-and-diabetes#post-1930173 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 23:45:40 +0000 Kemma 1930173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Ladies</p> <p>I had my anatomy scan this morning (19w2d) and while the tech was measuring the head, he asked me if I was diabetic. As far as I could tell Baby has a big head (measuring over 20 weeks!) and I'm wondering if this is what prompted the diabetes question?</p> <p>Any suggestions? I don't see my midwife until the 19th but I'm curious rather than overly worried.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
