    Increased placenta resistance - any advice?

    Has anyone else had this? I had to spend yesterday in hospital after a few days of reduced movements. They did some monitoring and another ultrasound, during which the Doppler picked up that the Resistance index (resistance in blood flow to the baby from the placenta) was too high, basically...

    DAU - lack of knowledge frightening.

    Had a scan yesterday and because of previous low sugar issues, my diabetic obstetrician told me that I should go straight to the DAU afterwards so that the scans could be reviewed/discussed. When I got there, they were appalling! I waited 2.5hours to be seen and then was dismissed in the...

    Week 8 and sugars out of control

    Hello all, I am sure that there have been plenty of similar posts but I am feeling quite alone and frightened and would love some advice. Prior to getting pregnant, my HbA1C was 6.6 with very few lows or highs, largely based on a low carb diet. Since morning sickness has kicked in, I have really...
