Pregnancy

Hi I’m 33 and type 1 diabetic , is it too old to have a baby?

I think that is really something to think about yourself and discuss with your partner and your doctor. I was 33 when I had my second so it wasn't for me, but different people vary and diabetes is just one factor in your decision. Personally I wouldn't have thought that age would be the deciding factor in this decision but I'm not a doctor and I don't know your circumstances....

Good luck whatever you decide.

Absolutely not too old. Speak to your diabetic team before you go for it if you do. Also think about taking folic acid before you start trying. I had my third at 33 and she’s the best thing that happened to me (even though we didn’t plan it)
