Hi everyone, Hope you had a great Christmas. Our first baby is due to arrive in January by caesarean and I’m feeling really anxious about it. I’m such an organised person I think the fact that so much is unknown really worries me. Not necessarily the delivery, but just being having a baby...

Hi everyone, I’ve tried searching on this section but I can’t find anything which is a mystery as I am sure it has come up before but...induction vs caesarean experiences/stories gratefully received, please! Thank you x

Hi everyone, I suppose I’m just looking for a bit of reassurance. I feel like I have quite a large bump but I’m not sure that’s just because it is what everyone has been telling me...much to my annoyance! “Oh you’re diabetic, you’ll have a big baby” “oh diabetic women always have big babies”...

Hi, I have a positive blood type however my antibodies screening has shown as positive (which is apparently unusual for people with a positive blood type). I have had more blood taken for further screening, however I just wonder if anyone has had this before and what it has meant for them? I...

Hi everyone, Anyone else been pregnant and everything been fine but not “felt” pregnant? I am 5.5 weeks so obviously very early but I don’t feel any different (other than rather tired and grumpy!). I don’t have sickness or painful boobs etc. I know I should be grateful but I am just awfully...

Hi. I’ve found out I’m pregnant after a missed miscarriage last year, so I’m excited but naturally full of anxiety not wishing for the same thing to happen again. I was just wondering what foods people were eating to manage the 7.8mmol reading 1hr post meals? My hba1c is below 6% so my sugars...

Hi all, I had a missed miscarriage in October, which was put down to being “one of those things”. I had to have a small op and after the bleeding stopped my husband and I decided we would start ttc again. So far, to no avail, but these things take time. I guess I am reaching out to see if...

Hi everyone, So, it would seem I am pregnant - really early days so trying not to get carried away and still can't quite believe it! However, I was just wondering what the process is once you've found out? I'm Type 1 diabetic, have phoned my Diabetes dept and just waiting to hear back from...

Hi all, I have seen so many mixed reviews for the Libre, when I was offered the trial it seemed the perfect opportunity to see what was going on with my blood sugars all of the time and to see what I really thought of the Libre. As it happens sadly I'm still not much further forward, the...

Hi, I am aware that your hba1c must be at a certain level to allow your diabetic team to give you the go ahead to try and conceive. What I am trying to understand is that as the hba1c is only a 3 monthly average would it effect a baby, i.e. If bloods were not at the recommended figure but your...

Hi, I'm a Type 1 diabetic and am in the process of planning for pregnancy. I use insulin pens as opposed to a pump and was wondering if there was anyone else who has been trying to gain tight control with the pens, as well as their experience of the whole process! Thanks in advance
