Is this a good size?

I went to the doctor this pass friday.  Well I just found out how big my baby was. She was a little over 5lb and I am only 30 Weeks and 4 days today. I am stational diabetic too. My question here is is she the right size or is she too big? Or on risk.

Cinnamon helps regulate the sugar levels.. it absorbs sugar. ...thats why diabetics do.... eat oatmeal and add one tbsp of ground cinnamon... do it twice a day.. it will help... I know about nutrition so pls take my advice...

The doctor sounded a little worry because of my suger levels. If I don't take care of it she might get bigger and it'll be hard to have a regular birthing.

My previous 2 were about that size and they were 8.3 and 8.1 at birth.

Did the Dr seem worried? If not it shouldn't be a big deal plus ultrasounds are normally off by a bit. But five pounds at 30weeks sounds bigger to me anyway
