My first pregnancy I was injecting so they made me go on a drip whilst I was in labour. It was a nightmare, the nurses didn't have a clue and bloods were in their 20s!! I've been on a pump for 3 weeks now and I will be refusing to switch to the drip as I feel ill be able to manage it (or my husband/mum will if i can't). I just wondered of any of you ladies experiences with pumps when in labour? My consultant hasn't discussed it yet with me but wondered what the general guidelines were? Are they quite for you managing it yourself? The thoughts of going on a drip again and my insulin administration being out of my control scare ms me half to death! X
