I was not a fat woman and I had a 9.5 lb baby boy. I am 68 on no medications and my son is 39. We are both healthy. I have to point out, though, that now I AM fat, but still no diabetes. Hoping that doesn’t change!
See my post at #31. I had gained about 25 pounds with that pregnancy. Was not obese, and my second son came 3 weeks later than expected. Doctor always said the baby gains most of its weight in the last 3 weeks. I had terrible heart burn, and was in the ER the night before his delivery because I had gas trapped in my esophagus. The doctor gave me bottles of Gelusil to take in the meantime, but said I would likely be back to deliver him soon. I told the doctor I was going home to get some sleep. Two hours later, my water broke.
