[QUOTE="kellyrae, post: 285468, member: 45374"] Hi, Just after a bit of advice which I don't seem to be getting much at the hospital.......I have had type 1 for 25 years, and in 2010 i had my first lot of laser treatment for retinopathy.....I had the laser treatment after having my daughter as they didnt want to do it whilst being pregnant. After the laser and having kept a close check on my eyes (every 3 months) they say I have developed more blood vessels but its not getting any worse over the past 9 months so they dont want to do any more laser unless it does at the moment. But me and my husband want to try for another baby after xmas.....I'm just worried that being pregnant may put more pressure on my eyes. I have told them at the eye clinic and they don't seem that concerned and just said that i would probably have to have another c-section (not a problem to me) and to inform them if i do become pregnant. Has anyone else had problems from this, i am happy with my little girl of course and if i thought that having another would seriously damage my eyes then having another would not be an option as i want to see my daughter grow up!!! Can anyone shed anymore light to this for me? [/QUOTE]
