[quote=Anonymous]I've had 2 babies - one 7 lb 8 oz girl, one 9 lb 8 oz boy. Both pregnancies I failed the 1 hr screening but passed all 4 draws on the 3 hr test, so no GD. By BMI I am slightly overweight, but I promise you it is mostly muscle and maybe big boobs. I gained I think 30 lbs with first pregnancy and 25 lbs with 2nd (the big one). I had a similar lifestyle in both pregnancies, including daily exercise and also keeping my carbs below 40% (which I started after gettin freaked out failing my first 1 hr glucose screening). For 2nd baby, I was even more diligent in avoiding sweets throughout pregnancy. Both were overdue - 1st baby 42 weeks, 2nd baby 40 wks 6 days.

I might want a third child but my big baby had mild shoulder dystocia so I'm sort of scared of having a big baby again. I feel like it must somehow be something I did to get this big baby the 2nd time, but I don't know what it could be. I think for me to gain less weight (like less than 20 lbs), I would really have to restrict myself or go even lower carb.[/quote]
