Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wooly123" data-source="post: 2489976" data-attributes="member: 536221">Hi ladies, I am 17 weeks pregnant and type 1 diabetic. I am starting to get anxious about the birth. I haven’t spoken to my medical team about it yet but would like to hear from some ladies with experience first. Do we really have to be induced or have a c section earlier than the due date? Should I just accept this is going to happen? What is your story and what would you do differently? If you are still on your pregnancy journey, do you have any thoughts on how you want the birth to be?Any advice would be appreciated as I feel very confused and feel like we have to choose between being induced or a c section. Seems like natural birth without induction is never mentioned for type 1 diabetic mums. I just want to know what the safest option is for me and baby, also wanting the experience to be as less traumatic as possible for both of us [emoji848]</blockquote>
