I would say it was worth it for me... When my son was born his sugars were slightly low and having the colostrum brought them up enough to save him having to go to NICU! With my daughter, her sugars were fine but had the colostrum anyway as it contains so much good stuff and I wasn't planning to...

I think I maybe got about 10-15ml which the midwives said was really good! My first born needed it as sugars were low and it did the trick, second born didn't have low sugars but had what I had frozen anyway for the nutrients :) whatever you can get is better than nothing xx

Sorry I've only just seen this! I'm sure your well under way so sorry if I'm to late! I had them over 2 days and the first I didn't have to but I did on the second as my bloods went above their levels and then stayed on that until my little girl was born. Hope all goes ok with you xx

I was induced with my first but after it failed and baby got in distress I had an emergency c section. For baby number 2 18 months later I was offered the choice of trying for natural again or an elective c section. For the second, they only allow 1 step of the induction process and if that...

Usually for anyone having steroids they can have it all in 1 go as just a in and out think but because it can affect your sugars they have to split it for diabetics and keep a close eye on how you react to them xx

I went in on the Sunday and had them as an inpatient Sunday and Monday and then my section was Tuesday! So only a couple of days before xx

I had my section 4 months ago at 37+2 and had to have steroids x

Well as I said, mine was 8.4 at conception and my little girl is perfectly fine. I also certainly wouldn’t say it doesn’t matter what you do during your pregnancy... you seem to have been informed of some strange things from your medical team and almost the complete opposite from what I was...

I think for a health professional to offer you no help other than to abort your baby is really awful. My second child was conceived when I had an hba1c of 8.4 and although I did get a telling off and told it wasn’t ideal, never did I once get told I should abort my baby or that she would have...

I never saw anyone before either or my pregnancies! When I got pregnant with my second child by hba1c was 8.4 but after finding out I quickly got it back under control! I think things must be very different around the country as I didn’t even know about these preconception clinics before...

I’m type 1 and have just had my second baby... with my first I never got referred to the community midwife so didn’t have any of the normal baby checks etc but my son was 6lb 6oz when he was born at 37+4! I did see the community midwife with my daughter and towards the end of my pregnancy I was...

I was induced at 37weeks with my first and he was born 4 days later via emergency csection. They did manage to break my waters and get me into labour but was labouring for 12 hours and only got to 3cm - his heart rate started to drop with contractions and everything stopped as soon as I was...

I opted for an elective for my second as I had a failed induction with my first and second time round they only allow you 24 hours for induction to work! My thoughts were if it didn’t work after 4 days it wouldn’t work after 1... I was hoping for a vbac but after they gave me the facts and...

I forgot to say that at my 12 week “dating scan” they did actually bring me forward a few days so who knows, it may be the same for you! :) x

I went for an early scan thinking I was also 8 weeks but measurements showed I was only 6 weeks... Annoying because the whole way along I was thinking I should be 2 weeks ahead based on dates but measurements at all my later scans tallied up with their dates! It’s nothing to worry about, you...

Well I guess letting you go so late is a testament to how well you’ve coped and managed in pregnancy! Yeah staying in hospital in this heat is going to be awful [emoji30] I’m going to see whether they have any private rooms available when I get there so atleast I can bring a fan or control my...

They’ve let you go late then, im having my section at 37 + 2 so don’t think there’s any chance of me going into labour before hand! I’m a bit disappointed as I had a failed induction with my first and spent 4 days going through the induction process before ending with an emergency c section so...

Ahh snap! Do you know what your having?

Oh that’s good to know! They don’t seem worried so it’s put my mind to rest a bit [emoji4] I’m going in next Sunday for steroids before my section on the Tuesday so only just over a week to wait and she’ll be here. Really trying to keep my sugars down for this next week so it doesn’t make it any...

My community midwife sent me for an unplanned growth scan 2 weeks ago (32weeks + 4) because my stomach measurement was measuring 2 weeks ahead. At the scan they found the baby had a larger stomach and was on the 92nd% but because it was still in the target range weren’t overly concerned. I...
