[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2119196, member: 365308"] How are you doing? This sounds like such a stressful situation when you should be enjoying this healthy pregnancy in which you are growing your baby well by eating high quality foods. It sounds as if you've had a bad time with previous pregnancies so it must be hard to trust your team although you do need them for at least your basic care. I always found midwives were terrified of diabetic preganancies and don't always realise how terrifying it is to be told about the risks of macosomic babies etc. I wish I'd known about keto when I was pregnant (might have avoided NICU twice when the babies crashed from having high bgs in utero) and am routing for you and your baby to keep going with what works for you in the absence of any evidence that your baby is being damaged e.g. bgs are normal so you're not in ketoacidosis plus your baby is growing normally. Understandably there is rarely evidence of safety of keto diets in pregnancy just because of the perceived risk of any such trial would make it unethical. I suppose your team are trying to promote your safety such that they can cover their backsides but surely growing a massive baby via the exogenous insulin/carbs combo makes no sense unless you were underweight and your baby was not thriving.
