Unplanned pregnancy risks of high blood sugars

Thanks azure, I'm pretty sure I'm going ahead. Heads all over the place with the high hba1c let alone adding in a break up plus prospect of doing this as a single mum (supported yes by partner but not as a couple) xx

Try not to stress (easier said than done, I know!) Just concentrate on looking after yourself and baby.

Without revealing personal details, I can say that my life as a parent hasn't turned out as I planned, but I am ok and so are my children. I think diabetes gives you strength - coping with that every day means you're used to taking on things and just going forward. Yes, it's hard work, but also amazing.

You're not alone.

Take care of yourself XX
 
I've had fairly heavy bleeding with some clotting for a day now. Been to A and E, got told to self refer to EPU. After waiting for three hours from reply from EPU got told probably miscarriage, monitor bleeding and try a pregnancy test in a weeks time.
Absolutely devastated X

Thinking of you..... {{hug}}

I had bleeding in early pregnancy (light) but a friend had heavy bleeding and all was ok. All you can do is rest and wait to see what happens...

{{another hug}} If things do go badly, don't blame yourself at all. Miscarriages are far more common than people realise.

Look after yourself XXX

Thank you. This is quite a lot (won't go into tmi on this) so I'm not hopeful. Outwith my DSN who has been nothing short of amazing I've totally lost all faith in the NHS through this entire process. The insensitivity of just monitor the bleeding and try a test in a week floors me. Xx

A friend had a similar unhelpful response. Seems not uncommon. Ignore their insensitivity. Just don't even bother thinking about them - they're not worth it.

Concentrate on taking care of yourself - physically and emotionally.

I really feel for you.... XXX
 
Been bleeding now since Tuesday. Bright red and sorry for tmi with clotting. Not looking hopeful I'd say. Got to wait till Monday to do a test and see. Xx

You've done everything you can if it is bad news. I can't stress enough how common things like this are.

I know that doesn't make it hurt any less, but I just wanted to say that there are lots of women out there who've been through the same thing.

Look after yourself xxx
 
Did that not offer you a scan? My friend has a scan at both 6 and 7 weeks after such heavy bleeds she was convinced she has miscarried both times! She is still pregnant and due 4 days before me.

I do think that's shocking you just being told to monitor the bleeding!!!

I hope you have lots of support and I'm sending you lots of love and hugs X X X
