[QUOTE="Dandilion, post: 1952070, member: 474036"] Hi, So this is baby no.3 and it has been a million times harder this pregnancy- my sugars have been uncontrollable throughout most of the pregnancy and no one seems to know why (I was even admitted to hospital for 2 weeks and put on a sliding scale yet the consultants STILL couldnt get my sugars where they should be. Due to the effects of the diabetes baby isnt growing right - her head is on the 50th percentile, her stomach is on the 97th, and her legs on the 3rd (though we are a short family and both my boys were also on the lower end for leg length). She also has excess fluid surrounding her. Due to this the consultants have decided she will be better out than in and want to take her out between 34-35 weeks. I am currently 33 weeks and have a scan in 8 days to determine the exact date of the c-section. I am absolutely petrified - my boys were born at 38 weeks and 36 weeks and were both fine (though the youngest had a bought of jaundice). I didn’t have this with my other two babies and I am so upset because I’ve tried so hard and nothing seems to have helped. I feel like everyone (particularly non-diabetics) is judging me like im doing something wrong on purpose or not listening to what im told etc. I feel like such an awful mum to my poor baby girl who isnt even here yet. Does anyone have any experience in having a baby out so early due to diabetes? Particularly if they were disproportioned like mine is predicated to be? Were they okay? Did they need help/go to SBCU? As the date is getting ever closer I’m getting so stressed, and I would love to hear how other babies in a similar situation were. Any advice appreciated x [/QUOTE]
