[QUOTE="Hollieandethan, post: 1134874, member: 60167"] Hey! I've been diabetic 19 years now! I fell pregnant just like yourself wasn't trying and I only found out because I went to the doctors thinking i had a urine infection. My control was terrible HBA1C of above 10. I found out when I was approx 2 weeks pregnant so could start folic acid. I attended my pregnancy clinic every week until I got my levels down a good bit then I went every 2 weeks. My pregnancy was hard work with trying to keep in control and going high. (I'm also on a insulin pump). Only issue I had towards the end was I had lots of fluid. I had a planned section at 37+1, my baby boy was born weight 8lb 6oz. Try and get them down as much as possible as that's what can cause us to have bigger babies. He's now nearly 2 and a diabetic himself using a insulin pump! I found testing often helped a lot! You can only do your best! Xx [/QUOTE]
