[QUOTE="Abbybarford, post: 2148238, member: 515133"] Hi, I understand completely where you're coming from. Maybe this will help. I had an unplanned pregnancy, my sugar levels were outrageous and everyone thought there wasn't much hope. Me and my partner both discussed having an abortion as it just didn't seem possible to have a healthy baby. I powered through, we had a scan almost every month and every month the baby was perfect. I had to work really closely with the diabetic nurses to get my sugars drastically lower and I managed to with their help. My hba1c went from 70 to around 42. It isn't easy, infact it was the hardest 9 months of my life. I gave birth to a healthy little girl six weeks ago and was induced two weeks early. Don't stress yourself out, you can't go back all you can do it keep your glucose levels good now. There was always a chance the baby will have defects, whether your sugars were perfect or not, but if there's anything I've learnt it's to focus on the now. Once you've had your 12 week scan, the chances decrease massively and that continues to decrease every scan. Good luck with your pregnancy [/QUOTE]
