[QUOTE="azure, post: 842252, member: 39639"] Congratulations to you both :) The blood sugar targets for pregnant women are stricter than the normal ones, but please, Kaylee, don't panic. I had some highs in early pregnancy but everything was fine. Just correct the high as per the instructions from your DSN. The first thing you should do, if you haven't already,mis contact your DSN. My local hospital has a special pregnancy DSN. I then saw the whole team early on and have done regularly since. They'll monitor you and help you through pregnancy. I'm now 34 weeks pregnant. It's been hard work, but it's been ok. You'll get plenty of appointments and extra scans, but I found those reassuring. I didn't find any good book specifically about diabetes and pregnancy,must Think Like A Pancreas has a section on it which explains how your insulin needs will change. Edited to add - my consultant also prescribed folic acid tablets 5mg (much higher than the normal pregnancy ones) from the moment I was trying to get pregnant and for the first 14 weeks. If you're not on them already, do ask about them. [/QUOTE]
