[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1725729, member: 365308"] Hi there. I understand the terror having done 3 diabetic pregnancies. I did not have perfect blood sugars and it was terrifying to think I might be damaging my vulnerable baby. I didn't and whilst that is no guarantee that your baby will be okay, all you can do is keep calm and carry on (anxiety does not help blood sugars either). Be aware of over treating with correction doses so that you don't end up swinging from hypos to hyper which will be worse for you and your baby than a slightly elevated blood sugar. As your pregnancy progresses you will have an increased blood volume and I think that means better HBA1cs. So enjoy that bit! You may then get higher sugars due to the hormone induced insulin resistance. Do you have a fsl or other cgm to keep an eye on yourself more easily? Lastly I would say that being t1 diabetic whilst pregnant did give me better access to medical care and more scans so if you are truly anxious see if you can get an early 9 week scan. best of luck and try to eujoy it!
