[QUOTE="stereotypeone86, post: 2151752, member: 468373"] Hey there, Congrats on your pregnancy.I’m also T1,pregnant and I have an anxiety disorder so I can relate to some of your concerns. I know it sounds easy but try not to worry as severe stress can be even more harmful to all pregnant women,especially during the first trimester. My blood sugar levels were in range before pregnancy but during the first trimester they went absolutely haywire and I had the worst highs and lows that I’ve ever had in 13years of being T1. It’s definitely hormonal and there’s little you can do apart from catch them early thanks to the cgm and treat them accordingly.I remember being in floods of tears and completely panicked every time I’d get a high or low but babies are incredibly resilient and can withstand a lot more than we give them credit for. It’s great you’ve had your 8 week scan and that everything seems fine so far.I think the 12week scan will reassure you further once you see your child actually resembling a tiny baby-it makes all the hard work worthwhile. I’m now 26weeks pregnant and my blood sugar levels settled down considerably after the first trimester.My daily routine is extremely strict though and I’ve had to sacrifice so much to maintain really tight control of my blood sugar levels.But it’s all worth it for a healthy baby in the end. My baby girl is thriving at the moment despite the many bumps we encountered in the first trimester.As long as you listen to your Diabetes team,monitor often and take your insulin,I’m sure you’ll have a positive outcome but just try not to overly stress yourself-things will get better. All the best and good luck! [/QUOTE]
