Gestational diabetes is only found in pregnant women. However, general diabetes is not due to pregnancy. Only women are able to get gestational diabetes. http://www.healthscout.com/ency/68/203/main.html
I am not sure what the GA is(possibly Gestational Age), EDD is 'Estimated Date of Delivery' (due date) and LMP is 'Last Menstrual Period' from which the EDD is calculated. 40 weeks from LMP is EDD.
No. Gestational age is measured from the woman's last period. Even if she doesn't know when this was, the gestational age is time from conception plus 2 weeks. For example, a 'gaedd 19 weeks' will give you a due date 21 weeks in the future. You are 17(+ 1 day) weeks from conception. 19(+ 1 day) weeks from your notional last period and 21 (- 1 day) weeks until your EDD.
Due date
When you have a dating scan the scanner compares the size of the fetus with the size of fetuses of known gestation. The gestational age assumes that the mother has a regular 28 day cycle and got pregnant 14 days before a period. the gestational age is calculated from this notional LMP. This is accurate in about 85% of cases. If you don't know your LMP and have been given an EDD/gestational age you need to take off 2 weeks to find an estimated date of conception. this website will help you. http://www.genetree.com/about/conception-calculator.asp
gestational diabetes is diabetes that occurs during pregnancy. it is due in part to sugar sensitivty ,genetics, and history
No, your baby is dead. ):
It's when cows, cattle, have miscarriages due to ilness. Livestock is cows, bulls etc.
So her due date was 20th January 2008? Her conception date was roughly Sunday 29th April 2007
While predicting a woman's due date is always a bit of a guessing game (after all, baby's don't work on the same schedule we do) medical people have a formula for calculating the date based on the first day of the woman's last period. If a baby seems to be bigger or smaller than expected during prenatal checkups, the health care provider can perform an ultrasound to more accurately calculate gestational age. It's normal for the date to be off by a few days, but the only way your due date can be off by a couple of weeks would be if you were incorrect in recalling the first day of your last period.
Calcium.
Your due date could be off or you might just be having a large baby due to gestational diabetes. Your midwife or doctor is the person you should ask about this. Most people have an early scan which gives them accurate dates, six weeks out is a lot.
