First trimester worries

Levels and early stages

I have a random question that my nurse has yet to answer.

My A1c is 5.6 but they’ve changed my background insulin and I’m getting a few like 16/17s. Not many maybe three in the past two weeks.

Does anyone know if you are in the early stages of pregnancy (before I know for sure) and get these numbers will that Negate the pregnancy chance?

I do not know if I am or not. Just thinking about in the period before we know for sure.

We miscarried in November, so diabetes is more and more stressful.

Thank you

Pregnancy care

High risk pregnancy

Hey everyone.

So I’ve just had my 25 week midwife appointment and my heads reeling a bit.

I’m finding that as my pregnancy goes on I’m getting increasingly anxious about my type one diabetes and the constant reminder that I am high risk is really getting to me.

Generally my sugars have been controlled with a few issues over a change in insulin over the last two weeks but honestly the pressure of not only being pregnant but being “high risk” is giving me constant panic attacks.

Now been told to look out for movement as much as possible and it’s sending me through a loop!

Sorry for the rant, guess I just want to speak to like minded people 🥰🥰

Holiday

Hey ladies! So I’m going to Spain tomorrow and I’m 11 weeks pregnant!

We’re all inclusive so dreading carb counting etc! Just wondered if anyone had any tips? As I don’t want my bloods to go out of control on this holiday 😂😂

Thank you!!

Premature birth

When did you deliver baby?

I've been told by my consultant that I'm expected to deliver by 37 weeks and no later by 38 in any circumstances. Apparently this is due to likelihood of placental failure and therefore stillbirth.
