Hiya congratulations!
Do you know how far gone you are?
I found out I am pregnant just over a week ago, I am 16 weeks.
I first told my dsn on the phone. She told me to make an eye screening appointment straight away.
I went to my GP as soon as I knew, who prescribed 5mg folic acid and made a referral to the obstetrics consultant.
Made an appointment with regular mI'd wife at my surgery who did my first booking appointment, and a referral for dating scan. Scan was booked for the following week. I was told to make another midwife appointment after the scan for 11wks. I had my eye screening done this week too.
Had my scan this week, and found out I am 16 weeks so a lot further than I thought. I had a phone call from the diabetic midwife at the hospital to make an urgent appointment which I had today. Told to cancel the other midwife appointment as I won't be seeing midwife at GP surgery again.
Today the diabetic midwife has referred me to the dietician, made me an urgent diabetes clinic appointment next week, and booked me to see the obstetrics consultant and to see her again in 3 weeks.
I've had bloods/urine tests and blood pressure. All the usual and today the midwife got fragmin blood thinning injections prescribed for me. You might not need that, blood clots run in my family. I think most people are given low dose aspirin after 12 weeks.
Lastly I had my 20 week scan booked in for 4 weeks, and it will be with a consultant to check the scan in detail. Although all anomaly checks were done this week and baby looks fine.
In my area I will be seen every 4 weeks until later in pregnancy then it will be fortnightly. Be ready for lots of appointments and blood tests etc!
I've been told to aim for no higher than 5.3 waking and 7.8 post meal. Not sure if you're MDI or pump but either way I have been testing and correcting a lot. And you may find you have a lot of hypos in 1st trimester and then insulin requirements go up in 2nd. I'm finding it hard with the hypos still.
Good luck with everything!
