I had GD with LO #2 but not LO #1.
LO #2 = 8lbs 2oz - 39weeks
LO #1 = 7lbs 6oz - 40weeks and 3 days!
I was very surprised to find out LO #2 was 12 ozs bigger than LO #1 also being born one week and 3 days earlier. I was able to control my GD with just diet... and I thought I did a good job! Everyone told me I looked smaller with LO #2 also... so he really tucked himself inside of me really well!
Just curious if everyone had a somewhat big baby even if they did well controling their GD.

I just had a friend who had a 39 week C section and her baby was 12 pounds, 9 oz. Not totally sure if the GD was controlled or not.

LO 2 was 7 lbs and 14 ounces at 39 weeks. My GD was controlled by diet and exercise. I'm on meds this time despite following the same diet and exercise plan.

I'm only 33w3d but Squish was measuring a shade over 5lb during my growth scan at 32w3d which puts him / her in the 76 percentile and around 9lb at birth. Interestingly enough when I mentioned to the ultrasound tech that I don't seem to grow small babies (Miss A was 8lb9oz) she agreed that although "they" try to put it down to the GD, some women just have bigger babies. To be the fair I now suspect that I actually developed GD during the latter stages of my first pregnancy.

DS1 - 10 lbs 9 oz at 39 weeks 1 day - no GD diagnosis
DS2 - 7 lbs 2 oz at 37 weeks 5 days - I controlled my GD through diet.
While I passed my GD test at 28 weeks the 1st time around, I wonder if I just developed it later on, which the doctor said is possible. I also wonder how big Little brother would have gotten if we had made it to his scheduled c section date at 39 weeks. It was bumped up due to low fluid.
