Good luck!! I’m using your experience to help me decide [emoji6][emoji23] xx

Don’t stress out about a few high readings! My team always tell me that a few highs are better than hypos early on... I bet you’ll wake up tomorrow and have hypos from then on, it’s as unpredictable as that! I got given a readings diary by week of my pregnancy which I found really useful...

I keep checking back to see whether there has been any update with your little one! Is baby staying put for a bit longer? xx

I was induced at 37 weeks but never had any steroids! My sugars were great during pregnancy and my little man was perfect weight 6lb 6oz x

I was in “labour” for 12 hours but only dilated to 3cm and then just stayed there and was over contracting when his heart rate started to drop so off to theatre we went! I would have no problems about having an elective this time I just don’t like the idea of not being able to pick up my big...

I hope so, would be lost if I couldn’t drive [emoji85] I was induced at 37 weeks exactly with my first and spent 4 days going through the induction process which didn’t work so ended up with a cesction. What about you? I’ve got a meeting in a few weeks to discuss options for this time and I...

I’m only 13 and a half weeks currently but my first son is only 1 so not a huge gap between them. I’m worried about driving, the diabetes team keep telling me how serious it is (which I’m well aware of) but just had to send me licence off to be renewed so hoping they don’t stop me [emoji51] My...

I have no awareness till I’m about 2.4 which is very scary! They said it’s because our levels are so tight during pregnancy and should slowly come back after but it never had for me and is exactly the same now I’m expecting number 2! I have an alarm set every night for about 1.30 to test my...

I solely bottle fed my baby but with a combination of formula and expressed breast milk. My milk dried up pretty quickly, after about 6/8 weeks because I wasn’t pumping enough! My health visitor said I would have to pump every time my baby was fed to try and mimic natural breastfeeding but for...

To be honest, the first hour was probably the worst as wasn’t in unbearable pain and wanted to try and preserve some dignity! Once full blown contractions started, I didn’t care about anything and the day went in a flash... I had gas and air until the pain was to much and then had an epidural...

I wasn’t put on a sliding scale as was able to manage my sugars well myself during labour. However, as I was being induced and on the induction drip, I had to stay on the monitor the WHOLE time and was therefore restricted to the bed for the whole labour. I wasn’t even allowed to the toilet so...

I was induced at 37 weeks. My hospitals protocol was pessary, wait 24 hours, another pessary, wait 24 hours, gel thing, wait 12 hours so by this time, I had been in hospital 3 days with absolutely no change what so ever. After the gel, they were able to break my waters (just about) and I was...

I’ve found it the other way! You usually have a lot of hypos in early pregnancy and therefore have to reduce your basal, well that’s the way it’s been for my 2 pregnancies anyway! Congratulations xx

I was induced at 37 weeks on 19th December but he was eventually born via emergency c-section at 11.50pm on 22nd! We were both fine so got to go home on 24th in time for Christmas [emoji319] My control was also perfect throughout pregnancy with the consultant querying whether I was actually...

Congratulations! You were a couple of weeks ahead of me in pregnancy last time and my heart broke for you when you posted about poor little Arlo, I cannot image the pain you went through [emoji174] Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy xxx

Yeah with my son I was very early when it showed on a test and I know deep down that I am not pregnant but everything that's happening comes back to "early pregnancy" on google! I'll see what the test says in a couple of week if I have missed another although after the prospect of thinking ohh...

So I missed my period this month which has never ever happened! My husband and I weren't actively ttc and were being careful as with every month but I did have some strange goings when I was due my period which on googling are an early pregnancy symptom. I have done several tests which were all...

I had a really smooth pregnancy with my consultant questioning whether I was even diabetic!! I think like @azure, I pushed to find out an induction date so I could plan etc and was given that at about 30 weeks. I was induced at 37 weeks but nothing worked so after 4 days in hospital and 13...

@Tilly_S the lowest my hba1c was throughout my whole pregnancy was 5.7 and I gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby boy weighing 6lb 6oz. He needed no intervention after being born other than a slight top up of colostrum as he's sugars were ever so slightly low but after that was perfect! It...

Be prepared for a long week! I went in on the Monday to be induced, went through every stage of the induction and by Thursday they took me to delivery to break my waters but things just weren't happening so ended up with an emergency c section Thursday night! Hopefully things go smoother for...
