    Struggling for the first time!

    Not to the same extent. My long lasting insulin used to give me a puffiness and the last 2 pods have done similar

    Struggling for the first time!

    I think my pump sites r ok. I have bruised lower down my stomach with the last 2, but I haven't used there in a while due to pain from my c section x

    Struggling for the first time!

    Thanks @azure. No, they haven't, I'm at clinic on the 7th of march and they will do my full bloods before then. I may ask when I'm back at the nurse this week. She did mention the possibility of metformin x

    Struggling for the first time!

    I've been diabetic for 19 years. I've always been well controlled. I went on the omnipod pump last year in preparation to become pregnant again. (My last pregnancy was ok but I suffered terribly with dawn phenomena so it was decided that if we wanted to try again I needed a pump) I chose the...

    Insulin and extreme side effects?

    How is his blood sugar tested? Is it a continuous glucose monitor of it is tibet prick tests. I have had a continuous monitor on for 2 weeks as I'm struggling with my bloods overnight.

    Pregnancy after c section...

    Thanks @azure. We r seeing the ob in Liverpool in January sometime so I will ask then. That's when we get arlos pm results too. Although we had a cause of death he had a rare condition. The majority of drs do t think it's genetic and that he was a "one off" and technically should have been a...

    Pregnancy after c section...

    Thanks so much @Snapsy. It's genuinely the hardest most heartbreaking time of our lives! And waiting to even ttc again is just torture! J don't want to replace Arlo, he'll always be in our hearts, we just want a baby more than anything [emoji174]

    Steroids - Update: Nov 17th

    It's with a broken heart that i have to let u know, Arlo passed away peacefully in our arms two weeks ago [emoji174] he put up an amazing fight for 6 weeks and 1 day and came so far in that time. He had an extremely rare condition which could be caused by an infection I have had due to me having...

    Steroids - Update: Nov 17th

    Well we got as far as we could. 27 weeks and baby was in distress, I was 'contracting' but they think it was down to irritation/infection rather than labour, but with each one baby's heart rate, which they were unhappy with anyway, was dropping. He was born via emergency c section on...

    Steroids - Update: Nov 17th

    Hello! I'm almost 27 weeks now! Had a scary few days last week where I was in labour and delivery for the night as they weren't happy with the baby's heart rate and there was talk of emergency c sections! I'm a week in from that now and things have stabilised (sort of) I had my steroids...
