Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cupcake55" data-source="post: 307691" data-attributes="member: 47844">In December 2011 I found out I was pregnant, me and my boyfriend where over the moon. I booked an appointment to see the midwife in January and one week before the midwife appointment I was involved in a minor car accident, I went to A&E to check everything was okay, I had no pain or anything and they did a urine test and told me I was pregnant and sent me back home.One week later I started having some spotting so I called my midwife who told me to go to the nearest clinic, they then booked a scan at the hospital the next day. At the scan I should have been around 9 weeks pregnant but sadly the baby died at 8 weeks and I then began to miscarry. (end of January) I was told this was nothing to do with the car accident.Then a month later I started having diabetes symptoms, was sent for blood tests after losing a stone and becoming quite poorly and sure enough at the beginning of March I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Nobody was ever able to tell me whether my miscarriage was caused by diabetes but I am assuming it was? I have now got used to my insulin and have good control of my blood sugar levels, me and my partner want to start trying for a baby again but I am terrified of having another miscarriage or having complications during the pregnancy. I had a miscarriage 3 years ago too, so I am worried to say the least  :cry:  My DSN is useless and I hate going to the diabetes clinic because they really don’t help me and I have basically taught myself to carb count/ adjust my insulin etc. I am just looking for any help or advice from anybody that has had a successful pregnancy that is also Type 1?Sorry for the long post! x</blockquote>
