Hello Ladies!

My name is Michelle, on October the 3rd i gave birth to my lovely little girl after developing gestational diabetes late on in my pregnancy.
I was told that she would be born heaviest 9lb, they also said that she had excess fluid within her sack and although she passed the downs test this could be a sign that she may end up with a problem. but after diet control and watching my levels i managed to reduce the fluid and she was born a healthy 6.8lbs. she has continued to progress really well. at 6 weeks ( yes thats right) she rolled over on to her front, she smiles, and gurgles every day, grabs her rattle and dummy and now wants to sit up. shes only 3 months old.

i wanted to help any one with any questions or worries they may have because this is a scary time and unfortuneatly the nhs way to deal with this issue is to scare the bajebers out of you. please feel free to contact me via this post or a message.

good luck ladies.xx

Crowds of people, my idea of hell would be a huge gathering of any sort!

Heights, scare me to death!
Liars, cheats. poseurs, any kind of violence, thieves and people who take advantage of others.

The way the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

Global warming, the melting ice caps, whaling..I mean what for?!

Cruelty

Having to give up my eat everything philosophy..and I really really dislike consequences.
Wonderful! And well done you on taking control of your situation, protecting this precious wee bundle and having such a fantastic outcome! :D

Unfriendly and bigotted persons; i.e. persons who do not have an open or enquiring mind - but all within reason - persons may have a reason to appear as such - we will never know their backgrounds or where they come from ...
So good to read this. I am so happy for you.

Both of my lovely grandchildren were born under dramatic circumstances. Their mother had gestational diabetes on both occasions and was constantly supervised from the leading hospital here (Denmark).

But nevertheless, she each time had to be rushed off to hospital - wanted to have a natural birth - but each time the life signs of the babies became low, and she was rushed to ceasarians. The last time they had hardly time to properly anaestecize her before they wanted to take to baby out. - But both children are now lovely, bright, thriving, and a pleasure to have about.

You can look forward to the best and hardest times in your life now. A mother will never stop to worry ...
