Well controlled and still a 99th percentile baby- what do I do?
I’m 32 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I’m 31 have been type 1 for 29 years, my control has always been good. I entered pregnancy with a hba1c of 6.0, it is now down to 5.6, with a consistent 75% time in range.
At 20 weeks my baby was in the 50th percentile, at 32 weeks she is now 99th percentile and the obstetrician wants to discuss the need for a c-section delivery. This all came as a huge shock as my Endo team have been singing my praises, I thought I was doing well and with a 5.6 hba1c I really wasn’t expecting a big baby. I am very small so far! So how has this happened!!
I honestly don’t know what I did wrong, or what else I could have done and am now worried about delivery. I guess I’m looking for any similar experiences and positive birth stories.
I’m not against a C-section at all, but I know I need to make a delivery choice fairly soon and feel so uncertain after this news and don’t know what to do for the best.
