Hi,
I am 14weeks pregnant with my first child, type 1 diabetic of 25years, on insulin pump for 6years approx. I have prolific diabetic retinopathy and am due to have a right eye vitrectomy next week.
I am overwhelmed and very scared about what lies ahead, particularly with the surgery and the posturing afterwards, ie face down, and then with the recovery.
I am unable to work due to being a teacher as they are worried stress could cause further bleeds in my good eye, which i have had already had at 11weeks, treated by laser.
Has anyone gone through a vitrectomy whilst pregnant, or just a vitrectomy in general wthout pregnancy.....pleaee any help, success stories or advice gratefully received!!!x
