massive congratulations! Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for posting such a positive message! Am hoping I'll be where you are in February. BW Jess

Hi Kirst, I've been on a pump for over 2.5 years now - it was really tough to begin with for a few months as it required a lot of intense input and hard work but since then has been brilliant. It's completely revolutionalised my life, allowing much more freedom with exercise etc. Thanks for the...

Hi Kirst, I'm a type 1 on pump and currently 10 weeks pregnant and I follow a vey low carb diet. I made this change about 6 months ago to get my HbA1c down pre-conception - it was 7.8 in Dec 2013 and 6.7 in June and 6.0 a couple weeks ago. I read Dr Bernstein's book....it looks daunting but is...

Hi Chloe, I think you've made the right decision as it's the right one for you clearly. I'm currently 9 weeks pregnant with my first on a pump but have been on a pump for over 2 years so am used to it. Some hospitals like to put their patients on pumps pre-pregnancy where as others don't and...

That sent before I'd finished! Cheeky app. Was going to say as well, good luck in the future and I hope things work out for you both. X Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Oh Em, I'm so sorry! I was so hopeful for you. I really feel for you. Big hugs Hun, I know there's nothing I can say at this time to make it any better. My thoughts are with you and your partner. Take care of yourself. Love Jess x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hey Em, All good...6+3 and nice clear heart beat. Very pleased that there is a good reason why I'm feeling so awful! Also really pleased there is only one in there! How're you doing? Jess x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I agree with what you said about carbs....unfortunately I'm on a no carb diet as it keeps my BMs really stable when all I feel like having is carbs! haha! My HbA1c was 6.0 last week which is the best it's been so whilst I hate the no carb thing it's obviously working! The most difficult thing is...

I think I'll probably be about 6 weeks but no lmp to work off so a bit if guess work ! Yes the nausea whilst awful is in a way at least reassuring that my hcg levels are rising! Did you find anything particularly helpful when you had it? Jess x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Great news Em!!! So happy for you, that must have been such a relief... yes I can understand your stress but we need to remember to chill a little I think (so easy to say, so hard to do!) I'm doing ok although absolutely awful nausea for the past week or so, all day long...not much fun! Also had...

Hey em, how did it go on Friday with your scan? Hope all's good with you. Jess x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Em, how did you get on with your scan today? Had my fingers crossed, hope all was well! Jess Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

hi Jenny, congratulations on your pregnancy! I imagine your team are reluctant to discuss delivery at this stage as it's still quite a long way off even if it doesn't feel like it! Can I ask where you live? If you are in England or Wales you are in your rights to request an elective C/S...

Em yet again you've reassured me about symptoms coming and going, thanks! The only thing that doesn't seem to change is my sore boobs....absolute agony! My husband and I haven't told anyone about the pregnancy, am too paranoid at this stage so I can't even ask my friends of whom the majority are...

Massive congratulations Katie! Glad your wee man is doing well now. Enjoy! Jess Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Wow Em, that's so cool that you and your sister are both pregnant at the same time! How lovely! I told my obstetric consultant (who I know through work) yesterday that she needs to book me a viability scan and her response was "oh ****! You're going to be a nightmare pregnancy!" Hilarious! I...

Em I can completely understand the stress but it must be even more so after all you've been through. I'll have my fingers crossed for you a week on Friday. I'm going to organise my viability scan today but can't decide whether to go with 7 or 8 weeks in case my dates are slightly out....not sure...

Thanks for all the yummy suggestions...had chorizo and mushrooms fried up this morning and it seemed to go down ok! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
