Hi all
I've been to a diabetic ante-natal clinic today which was a complete whirlwind to me ! I saw the diabetic consultant, diabetic nurse, dietitian, obstetrician consultant and midwife and discussed in length many aspects of my diabetes and condition including my first birth 15 yrs ago were I had a rather traumatic time and landed up in intensive care with multi organ failure, kidney dialysis was ventilated and eventually given a tracheotomy I also had p.e's this is not to worry anyone as this is rare and was a combination of lack of care and late diagnosis of possible pre-eclampsia all of which was admitted might I add the care after having my son was second to none ! This as you can imagine has made me nervous about this pregnancy but I am assured things have moved on since 15 yrs ago ! And I witnessed that today in the clinic ! Sorry for the long explanation but I felt it needed one I will finally come to my question ! I have diabetic retinopathy and my consultant wants to start me on clexane to prevent p.es as I have had previous history is there anyone out there that has had retinopathy and been on clexane whilst pregnant ?
