Hi ladies. Sorry yes been manic with my new little one. I got induced on Tuesday 15th evening and my little girl Isla Mae arrived Thursday 17th August at 1.45am 6lb 11oz Thank you for all the support ladies. I had a few complications, ended up with pre eclampsia and a bad back which I was...

Hi ladies. So looks like I'm being induced today at 36 weeks. Long story short been in hospital for 10 days already with horrendous back pain, had tests after tests and can't find anything wrong but I get so distressed by the pain they have decided to induce me early. I had an induction date...

I took mine till probably about 16 weeks and that was just to finish the packs I had. My ob said 12 weeks but said just finish the packs X

I would recommend ringing your diabetic team soon as rather than waiting for your dr. The quicker you get seen by your team the quicker they can send you for a early scan to check and also quicker they can give you the correct information. I'd recommend just keeping levels under 7 at all times...

I had my first scan at 12 weeks. According to my dr is depends when you find out your pregnant and when you see your doctor. If you find out quite early they would probably send you for a early scan but if not they will just send you at 12 weeks.

First off don't panic. How quickly after a meal are you testing? My dr advised me to test an hour at the beginning but soon enough I was having similar readings of 9s and 10s so she said don't panic and treat them leave it another hour and then treat. Pregnancy does so much to our bodies and how...

I'm off to Portugal at 28 weeks and my doctor literally said do it, you will need a holiday before the baby. She will give me a letter to say good to fly and to take my notes incase anything happens. Xx

Yes I correct hypos with jelly babies too. 3 or 4 depending how low I am. It does get abit tricky once your pregnant with all the hormones as suddenly your body needs more or less insulin. Xx

I'm on injections. Haven't ever thought of the pump. I swear by the carbs and Cals app and my Accu-chek Aviva expert. My parents offered to buy the libre for my pregnancy as they were shocked at how many times I'm actually having to prick my finger but after looking at reviews and speaking to...

Hi. I'm currently pregnant at 19 weeks. Iv been diabetic for 20 years this year. I fell pregnant a lot quicker than i thought and my hba1c which was tested 2 months before I conceived was at 8.5 which for me was good as when I was a teenager I was getting hba1c at 12. Soon as I found out I was...

Take another test over a week if your period is late. You could be just taking it too early. I took a test before newyear thinking I will double check before I drink and it came back negative and then still my period didn't come so I checked when I was 10 day late and I was pregnant!! Xx

Don't panic and don't google. My hba1c wasn't great before I found out I was pregnant. I made my control really tight and checked a lot too and got my new hba1c results back and I was down to 5.7 from 8.0 in October. You can do it. Good luck Xx

I'm 11 weeks pregnant today. I'm not having any issues as yet I think my parents are just thinking of how many times I have to check my blood and thinking it would be easier for me. Yeh the adhesive allergies would be a concern I'm going to talk to the hospital too and see if they think it...

Hi I saw my parents last night and they found a piece in the paper about the freestyle libre and has said they would pay for me to have it for my pregnancy if it is as good as its ment to be. Can all the ladies who have used it or are using it give me there honest opinion, good or bad. Was it a...

Thank you!! Xx
