[QUOTE="Jenny_B_, post: 1190914, member: 270531"] Hi I haven't been updating this thread for a while because I've been in a tailspin since our 20 week scan, unfortunately we were told that our little ones heart is on the wrong side of his chest because he has a growth known as a ccam/bps on his left lung, after many appointments at the leading hospitals I am assured that this has nothing to do with my diabetes and is a rare congenital abnormality which does occur mostly in women who don't have diabetes. Apparently it's a survivable condition which is now being closely monitored so that decisions can be made about the necessity of surgery after he is born. So now we have two serious conditions to monitor :( my blood sugars have vastly improved since my last test hbA1C is now 7.1 so much better but still considered high, day to day management is a constant battle currently strictly carb counting by way of weighing and measuring everything and keeping sweet treats to a minimum. Congratulations and good luck it is very scary I know just take it day by day and make sure you are being looked after by your diabetic and obstetrics team and all should be well for you. Feel free to contact me again if you have any further questions. Xxxx [/QUOTE]
