Dear Rhonda
Weight gain in pregnancy is unproven and unreliable an assessment tool many hospitals in Sydney and other places do not do it.
Your freind seems to be at an infomred place!

I wrote about my friend a little while ago with the "diagnosed" gestational Diabetes and they had said they were going to book her to be induced at 38 weeks.
 
Just an amusing update for you....
 
Today she said that they had rung and asked for her blood test results for the past couple of weeks and when she read them out they replied, "Oh they are good - maybe you don't have diabetes after all?"
 
She was a little confused and cross at being told to do finger pricks which she hates - 3 times a day for nothing.  LOL
 
After all of the info I gave her from you and then they say that.  All i could say was - well I guess that is why the test is not that good.
 
Then,  last time she was weighed - at 31 weeks she had only gained 2kgs duering the pregnancy (Fundus is fine and Baby appears healthy.)
But, they are now saying she should be gaining weight and she is so confused.  On one hand they have her on a diet and the other they are saying to eat more.   How to totally confuse someone who is used to being able to eat what she wants and how much she wants.
 
She is not overweight but is also not really skinny or unhealthy -  she looks healthy - a little tired but that is about all.
 
It really is such a cattle yard mentallity - the public system!
 
Regards
Rhonda
