[QUOTE="ExtremelyW0rried, post: 1775504, member: 429908"] They delivered my daughter at 34 weeks on this basis alone, even though they never found a problem with the placenta or baby on any of the scans. At 32 weeks my insulin requirements dropped and kept falling. By 33.5 weeks they were back to pre pregnancy levels. With my son they'd kept increasing until the point of delivery. With my daughter it was as though I'd delivered her and my insulin requirements just dropped even though I was still pregnant. Once I was at 34 weeks they decided that although they couldn't detect an issue it wasn't worth the risk and she was safer to be delivered than not. I have since read of this happening - the drop in requirements - and baby being delivered at 38 weeks and there being no issue but most hospitals I believe will deliver the baby based on a drop in insulin requirements alone as it can indicate an issue with the placenta failing. What have your diabetes team said? [/QUOTE]
