[QUOTE="tigger, post: 871954, member: 11023"] Hi I'm expecting my 4th and have type 1. My 1st was a single one, induction at 38+6 failure to progress and emergency cs. He was thankfully fine apart from a bit of low blood sugar treated with formula. He got jaundice at 7 days and we were readmitted for that but were out again in 24 hours. No breathing issues or anything like that and he was 8lb 4. The next pg I miscarried. Just one of those things. The next pg I had twins. They came rather early at 33 weeks and by vbac. Labour not brought on by diabetes. Thankfully they were pretty good given their early arrival but needed help with keeping warm and feeding. I am now expecting no. 4 which is really nerve wracking as completely unplanned. All the others were planned and my hba1c was under 7 or in some cases under 6 before I conceived. I had occasional highs (and rather more lows) throughout the pregnancies but thankfully avoided any complications. It's not easy and I find it incredibly stressful, particularly the night hypos but it's worth it for the end result. It really helps if you have a supportive consultant and not someone who will make you feel bad. I felt with the twins that I had more negotiating room as I knew better what was happening and they listened to me more during labour. Ultimately it's your decision but I hope this reassures you a little. I have 2 friends with type 1 one of whom has 2 children and another has 4. [/QUOTE]
