Glucose Test fail marginally

Itook my glucose test yesterday (KKH Private) and failed the 60 and 120 mins test by 0.9 mmol/l (ref range is 8.4, mine was 9.3). I am certain doctor will be pushing the idea of c-sect (am 24 weeks now) and will use my baby's size (currently weighing 690g which is the 90th percentile) as an excuse. I just need to know how to be firm on my decision for pro-natural and how do I get that message across clearly! Thank you in advance!

Hi. Failing Gd test does not mean that you will Definitely go for csec. I did not fail marginally and I also end up delivering naturally . What you can do now is to control your diet, ur sugar (eg: sweet stuffs , carbs, sauces etc). I think you should listen to your gynae for advice on why the recommended delivery method is better for uou. Having a big baby is hard to deliver vaginally, and also there could be risk of shoulder dystocia (push halfway and head out and shoulder stuck). I feel that if you feel strongly about delivering naturally, you can start controlling diet and slow down the baby weight . Btw, big baby is not just about delivering issue, having Gd also could have health complication for babies if not controlled properly. Good luck! Take care
