Here he is x

James John was born 22nd September by c section as my placenta was failing. He was 8.6lbs and was healthy so didn't have to go to NICU we're being discharged today

I'm so proud of myself,my average blood sugar before pregnancy was 12/13 mmols Now it's 6! My old diabetic team said I'd never ever stabilise myself and I've proved them wrong and in pregnancy too! :)

I've already got my new insulin regime from my consultant:) Been told to take juice cartons into hospital with me for when I'm breast feeding x

My left leg is still in agony from that steroid injection yesterday I feel nothing in my right x

54 from 74 at start of pregnancy

I've had steroids even though my baby will be 37+5 when born not sure why but I wouldn't think you'd need steroids for that late.. Trust the doctors they know what they are doing! X

Haha I think you may be right there! Second one just done wasn't as bad as the first

Yeah he's estimated to be 10lb at birth I'm surprised they're keeping him in that long

I thought lantus was bad enough! I'll be 37+5 weeks x

I can see what you mean first one was bloody painful x

Sorry but why would you refuse something that is the best thing to help your baby be healthier when born?

I had alot of hypos in my first trimester, I'd recommend just always keeping a bottle of lucosade on you at all times

I'm very ready, where do they actually put the injections?

The sliding scale is for the steroids the full one will be for c-section :)

My c-section is 11 days away now and so close. I've got my steroid injections this week I was told I'm out on a background sliding scale to help maintain my blood sugars... Do they normally let you move around whilst this happens? I can't believe that the end is so near!

I'm really nervous too be honest x

All my hypos were in my first/second trimester. Once i got to 25 weeks they spiked haha!

I guess the only thing to do would be to do a test in about 4 weeks time.. I wouldn't think that you would be having signs that quickly as if so you'd only be a week pregnant and not alot is happening to effect your blood sugars.. I'd say you should contact your diabetic nurse/team :)

I'll make sure to stock up with a crate of lucozade! :)
