Can you explain what do you mean by that "baby goes skitzo" and how long after the shot that happens?

Hey dr nikola, within 5 seconds of taking the injection, the baby becomes more active than usual, we just wondered if insulin has any affect on the baby at all, my wife is due to be induced in 3 weeks im told, so she will be 38 weeks by then

Insulin can't act that fast so i don't think that insulin makes your unborn baby more active. I also can't see anything wrong with these increased fetus's activities.

I was always told that decreased baby activity is the thing to worry about, not increased activity.

Well she changed the point of entry, making it lower and it doesnt seem to be happening anymore,

the amount of baby movement doesnt seem to be a problem, she is moving constantly much to my wifes discomfort

There thought she was maybe 4 weeks too big due to the diabetes but the ultrasound showed she was the correct size for her age, apparently if you have excess fat on your stomach, it can give a false reading as to exactly how big the baby is

So problem has been solved i believe and thank you to dr nikola and marianne for their help

When they are estimating how large the baby is, they do that via ultrasound measurements of bones and other organs. They don't estimate that by the size of her stomach.

When we had a mid-wife appointment, her stomach was measured to check the size of the baby and they found that her stomach was bigger than expected and the size of a baby that was 36 weeks of gestation when she was only meant to be 32 weeks, once they had done another ultrasound, they found that she was correct weight afterall and due to my wifes excess fat tissue, the original tape measurement didnt take the excess fat into account

It scared us at the time but once the ultrasound was done, we were relieved that everything was fine

It would be amnionic fluid, not fat! I was gestational diabetic with my kids. I was on insulin. I had a lot of fluid with both my kids. The ultrasound measures the baby. The tape measure is how much the mother is gaining. Where is she injecting? I was told never to inject in the abdominal area. Just arms, thighs, and butt. Congratulations, and good luck with your new baby.

She delivered a 6 pound 8 ounce little girl, they had to give her a c-section as after 14 hours she had only dilated 3cm and she was reaching the end of what she could tolerate

Congratulations! Enjoy your new baby.
