  • Pregnant December or January?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I just found out I was pregnant 2 weeks after being diagnosed with Diabetes.

    I remember having a slight period in December (not sure what the exact date was, but it's usually around the 13th) and I didn't get my January period. My husband and I had been trying to have a baby, so we were excited with the news.

    However, at my first prenatal appointment they explained to me that gestational diabetes leads to a large baby. They told me I was 9 weeks, 3 days at my appointment based on the size of the baby on the ultrasound.
