[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2616752, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=18329]@**shell**[/USER] and congrats on your pregnancy. I've had 2 T1pregnancies (admittedly 30 years ago) but though the tech has improved (I so wish I'd had a cgm) I think the principles are probably the same. And T1s have been having successful pregnancies since before the invention of cgms, insulin pumps and even glucometers, so I would strongly urge you not to panic about scan sizes. Maybe you have a baby who is going to be tall? (My 194cm son was too tall for standard newborn baby clothes at birth and wasn't overweight fat all, he just had height in his genes.)And I have no idea how accurate modern scan sizes are, or even how accurate your dates are? What do your team say? Are they worried? They are your first port of call and I would expect and hope that they would be able to reassure you on this one. Hopefully some younger (than me) T1 mums will post soon. [/QUOTE]
