Pregnant and Diabetic

Thank you so much for your help. It was really stressful for me and I'm glad I had help from this board to get me through it all.

(pasted from my post on my EC)

Bridget Lee was born Sunday, October 18th at 7:50 pm Pacific time. She weighed 9 pounds 2 oz and is 21 inches long! We were induced, but without pain meds! I didn't think I could do it, but in the end, I had no choice. I went from almost 4 cm dilated to 10 and ready to push in 20 minutes flat after they broke my water!

So, big, but not 10 pounds like they were trying to scare me with. Of course, she was induced at 39 weeks, but I don't think she'd have made it to 10 pounds if she'd gone to 40 weeks.

Tara-

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter!  I'm so glad things went smoothly, and I'm proud of you for going med-free.  I'm glad this board was helpful for you.  I hope you will stick around and share your BTDT advice.  Best wishes to you and your family.
