Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tilly_S" data-source="post: 1370728" data-attributes="member: 357315">hi all <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> been a few weeks since I last posted my obsessive worries I'm just so glad for some support from others who understand  Anyhow I have my 20 week scan on Wednesday which I'm very excited about ( have been feeling baby kick ) but also very very nervous for ... My team have been drumming it into me that if at conception my hba1 wasn't a1 perfect (as it is now) then baby has a strong possibility for abnormality or disabilities /heart defects etc ... This pregnancy was planned but we were on holiday around the time of conception and I wasn't AS tight with control ... To be honest we had been trying since our last two mc ( both because of bad control) that I didn't even think it would happen we had been trying for a year...I'm just so scared on Wednesday they will say something is wrong ... Has anybody had a higher.. Or not a1 perfect (not perfect ) hba1 round conception ... And baby's been ok? My hba1 is now 5.3 so is pretty good and has been since I found out at 2 (4 weeks pregnant) so hopefully this does make a difference ... I was taking 5mg of folic from 8 weeks ( doctors balls up!) but I was taking 14 400mg folic acid tablets a day which I calculated equated to 5mg up until 8 weeks ... I'm just worried as I had such bad morning sickness too dos the tablets stay down .... I'm so sorry for rambling on I guess I just need some peoples real life stories (good or bad plz ) and a bit of reassurance please  Also anyone want to take a guess at baby's gender ?<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Thank you for any replies and for reading this far down of a crazy pregnant ladies worries !
