I went to the docs on Friday for a "telling off" about my poor effort to control my diabetes since having my daughter 9 months ago. Whilst there I mentioned I sometimes miss a period however was now missing a second and after a test it was confirmed I was pregnant.
Based on dates I am around 11 weeks however my sugars have been out of control for months (purely due to the fact I've not been injecting properly) and my last hba1c a couple of months ago was 8.8 although I'm surprised it was not higher.
I'm hoping to speak to my diabetic antenatal team tomorrow and get seen ASAP but I'm just terrified and have just been sat around waiting for the worst to happen since I found out Friday morning.
I've seen that obviously miscarriage is a huge concern as well as birth defects. What would these birth defects be? Is there anything else that could happen/be wrong?
