Hello! I am 22 weeks and was told I wouldn't be allowed to go further than 38 weeks. When I asked they said that is pretty standard as other complications could arise the closer to 40 weeks you get (can't remember what though). I was then told last week I could be induced earlier than 38 weeks...

For some reason I get a message saying I am not allowed to reply to posts in the app... anyone else have that problem? I haven't had an HbA1c since October/November... apparently I am not due to have one for another 2 months. When I asked they said that's right, just seems like a long time...

Hi @MelissaC we actually have had a boys name picked out for a few years [emoji39] if they were a girl it would be a little trickier! Xx

Hello! I had my scan yesterday, it was amazing. All looks good and healthy, thankfully. We found out we are having a little boy [emoji170] I am too excited! Although, we didn't get a good scan picture because the whole 20mins he was being scanned he was facing us and on his side and then the...

Hello, don't apologise for the rant it's what we are here for! How far off your targets are you atm (if you don't mind me asking) ? Tbh, I had quite a few lows and think they pulled it down a bit, not much mind but will have contributed some what. How restricted is your daily carb intake atm...

@MelissaC I hope the meeting with your consultant went well and you have a clearer idea of where abouts in the 50's you are aiming for! You have done so well, I am sure it won't be long to get that last bit down! :) @wannabemammy Aww, I only had bad nausea no actual sickness, does it make it...

Aww yay! Glad all looks good, must be such a relief [emoji846] a boy, how exciting! I think my hubby would love a son, I have a feeling my little one is a girl. We will see who's right in just over a week - either way as long as they are healthy we don't reeeally mind what they are. I have lost...

Hello [emoji846] I am 18 weeks this week and have my 20 week scan on Valentine's Day. My HbA1c when I was given the go ahead was 6.4% (46 mmol/mol) back in about September-ish, pretty sure I am due another test soon! Been really struggling with lows and rebound highs [emoji17] hoping everything...

Hello! Sorry I think I missed the message before last with Christmas and all that (hope you all had a good Christmas and New year btw!) The pump delivers the basal in smaller doses all the time using the quick acting insulin (Novorapid in my case). Well done! So glad it's all heading in the...

Hello @MellisaC I am on a pump so I have no idea about basal insulins as I am only on Novorapid. Injections seem like much more hard work, so well done you! So glad it is all rolling for you, best of luck with a1c and appointment in Feb [emoji846] @wannabemammy I had my scan yesterday. All is...

@MelissaC it was lovely to see them, makes it all a bit more real [emoji846] your appointment must be very soon, I hope it goes well when you do have it [emoji1] @wannabemammy well done you! That's great! I love the little at home HbA1c tester! I have family in America too, I might see if they...

Hello all, Just an update for you gals as I had my first scan today, we saw littlest beans heart beating. Was such a relief, I am actually pregnant and my body isn't playing some crazy trick on me [emoji23] Hoping you have managed to get an appointment Melissa and things get going for you...

Hello Hayley @Propertyoflife I am also type 1, 27 years old, had diabetes for 15 years (very poorly controlled before a year ago), brought my HbA1c right down ready for pregnancy and am now 8w+2 with my first. I wouldn't worry too much about the HbA1c, it's a little over but I know of people...

Definitely chase them on the appointment MelissaC, I hope you're not struggling too much, we are always here if you need to vent [emoji846] I had a 13.9 the other day practically cried [emoji24] my new set didn't go in properly and I didn't realise. I will definitely let you know how it goes...

@wannabemammy Yay! So happy for you! Well done [emoji1] Will you want to begin trying straight away or get your sugars lower first? My update... 8 weeks pregnant tomorrow, one more week until my early scan and I get to see baby bean [emoji38] hoping everything goes well this week though...

So sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and your family. Xx

Thank you @wannabemammy! It's not been easy but now the hard work really starts! Keep thinking it's my body tricking me because I want it so badly [emoji23] hoping everything's ok in there... Hope everything is going well with you and you get the go ahead soon! [emoji846] x
