Growth sono appt didn't go so well....
I haven't been able to get the GD under control with the glyburide. They increased it from 1/2 a pill to a full pill and it's still not working well.
The baby is 32 weeks and he's measuring 4 lbs 14 oz. Dr. says he's big and will definitely be over 8 lbs. He wants me on insulin asap 
As if that is not enough, my amniotic fluid levels are elevated from the diabetes. I shouldn't have googled it, but I did. Not good. I have to go in weekly for biophysicals. I'm just so worried and upset

Re: Growth sono appt didn't go so well....
 hang in there - it'll be OK!
I don't have GD (scored a 99 on the 1 hr test), but my  was 4lbs 4oz at 30wks!
I don't think you have a huge baby on your hands - just a nice healthy size

Re: Growth sono appt didn't go so well....
Please do not worry....I had GD with high Amniotic fluid level the entire time...it just means that there is a change that they will indiuce you or give you a c-section because they do not want your bag to rupture which could cause the cord to come out before the baby. I had to have a c-section...no worries...they will just monitor you more closely towards the end i.e. weekly sonograms of your baby!!! 
P.s. and becuae of the extra fluid...my 3d sonograms came out great check out my album!!!

I'm sorry you're so worried! DS was 5lb 6oz at the 32w growth sono and I didn't even have GD. I'm sure your OB is just being cautious

Re: Growth sono appt didn't go so well....
I'm sorry the pills aren't keeping your GD under control.
Hopefully this will make you feel better:
My growth sono at 32 weeks put my DD at just over 5lbs. I was told she was going to be big.
I delivered DD at exactly 39 weeks (was induced) and she was born at 6lbs 11oz!
Growth Sonos have a margin of error and are really only estimates.
