[QUOTE="Citygirl, post: 1459603, member: 55474"] Also, as this pregnancy is unplanned I suspect you weren't already be taking folic acid. Your diabetic consultant probably already mentioned it but you need to start taking it asap and you will need a prescription for it - women with diabetes should take a higher dose (5mg) rather than the standard 400 micrograms that you can buy over the counter. Hopefully you've already got this sorted by now. Congratulations! It's all a lot to get your head around at this stage (and I found that without the kidney issues too) but you should have a lot of support - I had appointments every 2 weeks throughout my pregnancy which was annoying in some ways, but did mean that I felt fully supported. Good luck with it all! [/QUOTE]
