[QUOTE="chloe1, post: 512401, member: 28559"] No I'm hoping to get a pump soon, as after having my last baby I can't get things under control again. So I had to have a drip with insulin and glucose through both labours. It's a pain in the bum as the midwives don't seem very confident with this process so I had to wait around for someone who knew what they were doing. And my labour was only an hour 2nd time, so it probably took longer to get the **** thing set up than to actually give birth! I would say if you are on a pump maybe push to stay on it and control things yourself. However all labours are different and you never know if you will have complications, or how long it will last. So think about that, you might not want to have to think about your blood glucose. Maybe if you trust your birth partner to take over looking after your levels if you need to use your brain for other things!
