Hi all,
Im a T1 and posted a few weeks ago having found out I was pregnant (my first baby) and freaking out over folic acid and hba1c.
Well I had my early scan and they calculated I was about 6.5 weeks, they said all looks healthy and was a heartbeat too.
My hba1c is 48 which is great and the doctors all said they’re really happy with my control and that I couldn’t be doing anything better (although I feel so useless sometimes).
But since my scan I’ve found myself consumed with negative thoughts surrounding miscarriage.
This Thursday puts me at 8 weeks, my next appointment with the antenatal/diabetic team is next Tuesday but midwife and next scan won’t be until mid April and it’s driving me insane thinking about what could happen in between then. I can’t stop looking things up online, statistics etc I just can’t stand this idea the baby’s heart beat could stop and I’ll be walking around for the next 4/5 weeks thinking I’m pregnant only to see no heartbeat or something on my 12 week scan :/
I’ve had a miscarriage before, altho circumstances were very different, I was younger (it wasn’t necessary a desired circumstance), sugars weren’t particularly controlled and I think I even had listeria poisoning, I know all this worry is no good for me and at the end of the day what will be will be anyway.
Over the weekend I’ve really struggled with my sugars, Saturday I was circling hypo ALL DAY, didn’t matter what I put in they would go to about 4.2 then drop way down, I had tried to put so much into my system it physically didn’t fit anymore and I was sick all night then Sunday I’ve managed to pick up a cold/sore throat virus and feel horrendous and ended up taking yesterday off work and now sugars have spike, trying my damnedest to keep them down but I’ve had a few spikes to 14.
Sorry this is such a negative post I’m just hoping there’s a few of you that can share you’re experiences with me and any help or advice, will they check for a foetal heartbeat in between my scan? Is anyone else feeling this ****?
