[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2223439, member: 365308"] Sounds as if they are treating you as high risk and in some ways it is good to have all that extra monitoring but it can make your pregnancy rather medicalised. Bear in mind that they won't be seeing too many women like you who have got their sugars under control and improved their fertility it would seem via low carb high fat so won't have a lot of clinical experience of it but just the opposite where women and babies run into problems giving birth to large babies due to uncontrolled blood sugars I assume. I also felt pretty healthy but things can and do go wrong in the later stages due to insulin resistance caused by pregnancy hormones so all I can suggest is the impossible of relaxing when not at appointments whilst keeping an open mind as your pregnancy progresses. It is good that you will have more checks and more scans to check baby's growth and will allow you to make an informed decision about the birth as it gets nearer. I think the lives of 2 of my 3 kids were saved by all the extra attention I got (type 1 with pre eclampsia first time and 3rd time baby's heart just stopped beating during a routine check). Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your little bump over the coming months - its a lovely time IMO! [/QUOTE]
