[QUOTE="Catherine4188, post: 1389052, member: 378206"] Hello, I was just diagnosed 16 days ago with type 1. My hbA1c was 104 and I was 8.5 weeks pregnant. I miscarried just 2 days after diagnosis. We had a scan on the day which showed our baby was at just 6 weeks development and I was told to expect a miscarriage and that if We didn't lose the baby it was going to have sever birth defects if it survived until birth. I am absolutely desperate to have another child but I won't until my hbA1c is below the recommended level. As wanting as you are to have a baby, please believe me that rushing isn't the answer and could cause you a world of pain if you don't get your levels sorted first. This is coming from someone still mourning the loss of their baby but knows that they would have been very poorly because of my levels. You don't want the guilt. I'm going to get my levels down and take the folic acid the doctors have prescribed to be as healthy as possible. I hope this helps and drives you to be as patient as possible. Xx [/QUOTE]
