    Any help appreciated.

    I did mine 2 weeks ago and as of yet have had no results. I have a consultants appointment on Frida so presume they will tell me then.

    Met cons today and gave me a glucose monitor and to go on a diet of no refined sugar... sounds easy right ...NOOOOO what about my craving for ice cream twisters??

    Well as it is i know i have to do this for the baby so i will do my bestest.

    DONT want to be delivering a baby by C-Section cos theyre so big.

    I was in the same boat.. controlled it all with diet and exercise, it wasn't easy (christmas was whack in the middle) but I managed. The baby was actually smaller than my last, 8lb 6oz. I'll tell you one thing I wished I'd been told earlier - My consultant wouldnt let the pregnancy go beyond 40 weeks. I was given one day notice to be induced and it shook me (and took 3.5 days because he just wasn't ready!)
