Thought I'd try posting here too to see if I got any replies. I am a type 1 diabetic and recently gave birth to a beautiful little boy who they think had VACTERL syndrome. I am heartbroken that he died and can't help but blame myself and my diabetes for his death. I just wanted to hear from any other diabetic mums out there who have maybe been in the same situation. Thanks

Hello diabetty .

Am sooooo sorry for your loss of your beautiful little boy . ((((hug))))
My heart goes out to you - you will need loads of support and will feel all over the place.
Do try NOT to self blame yourself with this - I know you will be wondering about 'everything'
and remembering all that happened too .

After reading your post - have thought about getting 'more' replies and support for you.
To achieve this, this thread would be better relocated in the GESTATIONAL/DIABETES .
Here, other diabetic mums there - can possibly help and support you more ...
[noticed you posted already in pregnancy]

So hope you dont mind - have moved this there for you :)

Anna.
