Hello! Just wondering what people's experiences of attending a pre-conception clinic were?
I am type 1 for 14 years, on a pump for the last 7, so I see my consultant around 2-3 times a year anyway, for the last year or so my thyroid has been classed as borderline hypothyroid and I knew that that could have an impact on pregnancy so went to my GP for folic acid and to ask about it and have now been sent appointment for clinic. My main concern is that I am not 100% sure about when I am going to start ttc as at the moment I feel so knackered I'm scared I won't cope being pregnant, plus have a holiday in august so not looking to try until late in year at earliest. I feel like I might be wasting their time! It's same consultant as I see for my pump but with midwife too. I may just be scared as this makes it seem real but would love to hear of people's experiences going to a clinic.
