[QUOTE="azure, post: 905674, member: 39639"] Hi again, Joanne :) Stay away from Dr Google - it'll make you a nervous wreck! I speak from experience! I had polyydramnios with my second pregnancy. I believe it was because my control wasn't as tight as it could have been as I'd only just been diagnosed with diabetes so didn't really know much. The main problem it caused for me was that I felt quite uncomfortable. My baby was fine, although she was born a few weeks early (didn't need any extra care). Yes, there are lots of scary stories but as long as your team are aware of it and monitoring you, you should be fine. In that pregnancy I had scans every two weeks in the later stages and, although they noted the polyydramnios, they didn't panic about it or anything, just watched it. I think your HbA1C of 59 is around 7.5 in the old measures. You should be guided by what your team say as each person is unique, but you could ask them for more Info about what range it should be in. In my recent pregnancy (my 3rd) mine was 27 which is around 4.7, I think. I don't know what targets you were given, but I was told to aim to keep my blood sugar under 7.8 two hours after meals. That got harder as the pregnancy progressed because of insulin resistance, but that's what I aimed for. I did lots of blood tests to try to keep my sugars in range. I as also told to aim for less than 6.0 before meals. Of course, it's all balancing act and definitely not possible to have perfect sugars all the time. No need to apologise for worrying because it's your first baby. I worried a lot during all three of my pregnancies! I think it's completely normal. It shows we care :) [/QUOTE]
