[QUOTE="Shannon27, post: 2162502, member: 429571"] Hi everyone, It's been a while since i posted, my sugars are much better controlled than they were, although there is always room for improvement! I am cracking down on it now, as i've just bought my first home and my boyfriend and i are discussing potentially our first child late on next year. He knows i am a little worried about the entire process (i am 24, having been diabetic for the last 19 years i've heard some horror stories) and is already being really supportive with this. We are seeing my consultant next Thursday for one of my quarterly appointments, where i am going to let her know that we are considering it. She is brilliant so can hopefully point me in the right direction. My boyfriend works with a lady who has had 2 healthy babies while managing Type 1 diabetes, she has recommended a high dose of folic acid daily for the duration. She has also told him she saw her local diabetes team every fortnight for checks and scans (which would be nice, seeing every stage of the baby growing). Her only issue was the size of the babies - this is a very common problem for diabetics, i've made my peace with having a C-Section. Can anyone offer some advice or experience for a very nervous potential mum-to-be? Thanks Shannon [/QUOTE]
