Birth weight on Metformin

Baby is already measuring 14th centile at 35+3 and I have been put on metformin due to unstable blood sugars. I’ve seen that this can cause low birth weight and am worried due to baby already measuring small. I have another scan at 37+3 to measure baby and they’ll decide then on induction at 38-39 weeks.

I think I’ve just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes

I say I think because I only took to test this morning but the nurse mentioned my blood sugar was pretty high before even drinking the glucose drink. On the second look they’ve already given me a blood sugar monitor and have told me not to do anything yet and it’s “just in case” definitely not a fan of this as I per...
