[QUOTE="Postitnote, post: 1180933, member: 146242"] [USER=306412]@Jd040767[/USER], I did not plan my pregnancy and conceived with an Hba1c of 9. After 12 weeks I'd got it down to 5. I couldn't correct what I'd done but I wanted make **** sure The Bean had as much of a chance as I could give him. I am hypo a lot. I'm lucky that my eye exam came back normal (rapid decrease in blood sugar levels can trigger retinopathy). I have just had my 20 week scan and all is well. That does not mean that I (and The Bean) have escaped the consequences. But things are hopeful. At no point did any HCP mention that I ought to consider termination. Yes, there is a high risk but there are plenty of women in our situation who have had successful pregnancies. Weigh up the information your healthcare team is giving you. Ask questions. But don't act out of fear. [/QUOTE]
