I'm 32 weeks pregnant and just had a growth scan that showed my amniotic fluid index is 22.2 cm. The doctor mentioned it's a bit high and suggested I get some blood tests done, like fbs and ppbs. They also said the baby's abdominal circumference is slightly above average. Does this mean I might have gestational diabetes? And what kind of diet should I be considering right now? Everything else with the baby's weight seems normal, so I'm just trying to understand what all this means.

An Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) of 22.2 cm is indeed high, and the slightly above-average abdominal circumference may indicate fetal macrosomia; however, gestational diabetes diagnosis requires confirmation through FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) and PPBS (Postprandial Blood Sugar) tests; if diagnosed, follow a balanced diet with complex carbohydrates, fiber-rich foods, and minimal sugar intake, and consult a registered dietitian or healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

I'm really worried and need some advice. Can pregnancy actually happen if it's just fingering on the 8th day of my cycle and there was some precum involved? I'm certain there wasn't any ejaculation or actual penetration, but I can't stop thinking about it. Is there a real risk of getting pregnant this way?
