[QUOTE="eabhamurphy, post: 1706325, member: 21358"] So your community midwife will do your booking appointment and this will get you on the 'badger' system so they can send out your scan appointments etc. My diabetes team needed me to see the midwife as they said booking my early viability scan was tricky without being on the badger system. In my first pregnancy I saw my community midwife at that booking appointment and then via phone to get my matb1 form. That was it. Not sure if it's the same in each hospital but the booking appointment with midwife at your GPs does get things moving. The CGM is really good. Mine links directly to my pump and cuts out when I am going too low. Occasionally I have had instances of it cutting out for two hours and then having rebound highs in the middle of the night, which is really frustrating but that only tends to be when I'm using a new sensor but every night counts for the baby. I cannot imagine what pregnancy would be like without the constant blood sugar focus. And life for that matter but when I'm not pregnant I don't feel the same level of stress if I get any highs. I don't find it provides too much info really. The other lady in my clinic who got her CGM at the same time as me said she was delighted to get rid of the CGM after breastfeeding as it was too much but I don't think I'll feel that way. Knowledge is power. I've long since accepted being 'bionic' with all these attachments. From 16w it's consultant appointments and scans every four weeks from 20 weeks. It's all feel very well attended. Then all going to plan you'll probably have an induction scheduled for the beginning of week 38. (Guidance says 37-38+6 for delivery) I'm getting ahead of ourselves now but I love to know and understand everything.. although childbirth is not something you can control easily, certainly not the first time anyways. All worth it!!! Would do it 100 times over to have my lovely son! X [/QUOTE]
