Had LOADS that low or lower and baby is just fine. In first tri I had them twice a week or more. I hate the feeling. I have an awful headache after and feel nauseous the whole day. Never knew if I had morning sickness or hypo sickness

I've been higher too for some reason! Am drinking loads and yet still feel thirsty! Had the worse nights sleep ever too! Please let me have some cooler weather today!!!

When should I have my first growth scan?! Cant remember if it was 24 or 28 weeks with my son?! Thanks x

Mine this time was at 23/24 weeks x

baby will be fine hun. The lows wont hurt baby, it could just affect you meaning you could fall over etc and thats the only time you could potentially hurt baby if you know what i mean xx

 

[Jaybear5]

Thanks hun am at clinic tomorrow so will ask when my first scan will be.
My sugars are still running higher than they have been, have increased my insulin but still not helping much! My 30 day average is 7.2 so still happy with that but we will see what happens tomorrow and what they say!

Hey Jaybear I remember when I hit 21 weeks my hypos became hyper and then levelled down to almost perfect control after a few weeks. Not sure if thats the norm with others?

Also Capel, near the end (like 32 weeks onwards) I started getting lows which is why they took the baby out early as they thought placenta wasn't working (that as well as me complaining about lack of movement).

Got my son (still feels weird saying that!!) circumcised yday. It was done for religious reasons. The poor little man cried so much. It was hard to handle. He was ok an hour later thankfully.

Got his 6 week growth check up tomorrow. He was born tiny so all the newborn clothes I bought were TOO big on him so my hubby had to quickly buy some tiny baby ones! He's outgrown the tiny baby clothes and the newborn clothes are just right on him. Need to stock up on the 0 to 3 month clothing!

I hope everyone's hypos have calmed down now. I really don't miss those days. Worst days of my life.

Glitterstar 1.9 is sooo low. I had 1.8 once in my antenatal checkup and the diabetic team were amazed that I sat there all normal. It's so bad isn't it. Lows won't affect baby hun so don't worry about bubba, just look after yourself!! I know easy to say!

I read up there someone wanted to know when the first growth scan is (I think it was Jaybear but I can't seem to see the thread). Mine was at 28 weeks.

wow nemo 6 weeks has flown xx

 

[Lincoln Girl]

i have my next growth scan tomorrow and appointment with all the rest of the crew. Think they will tell me to increase my insulin tho as been having quite a few highs. My average is 9.6 so not the best but not as bad as it has been xx

Nemo, she is moving just fine, even more than DD did when I was pregnant with her. So they are not concerned, I think it is just the heat. I can't cope with it, I always have bad hypos. Maybe because one of the first things I notice when hypo is that I feel very hot and sweat a lot. If I am hot and sweaty beforehand I can miss my first sign of a hypo...

 

[Jaybear5]

Thanks Nemo hopefully mine will settle down soon then! Will ask at hospital later about growth scans xx glad your little boy is doing well! Those 6 weeks have flown by! Xx

Hi capel,

I wanted to write to you as I'm also type 1 diabetic, on a pump which has been great.

But have just had an unfortunate loss. Nothing to do with diabetes but a rare gene complication from mine and my partners genes, so we decided to terminate our pregnancy

This only happened a week ago, so still very sad but I wish you all the best and will return for a chat again when things have brightened up. Please feel free to ask any questions. We've just moved from London to Devon, so I understand the type of treatment they give there. Pretty drastic sometimes I felt!

All the best to you,
d xx

OMG had my growth scan today and baby is on the 97th centile!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got to get my sugars better!!

 

[Jaybear5]

Awww did the Drs say anything hun?! She may just be having a spurt now and slow down x

 

[nemo1]

Aww Lincoln Girl as Jaybear suggested, it might just be a growth spurt. And you're 27 weeks - not long left!!

Dotnes really sorry about your loss. Lucky you're on pump though. I really want to be put on it as I am hypoing left right and centre but my docs are reluctant. Does it help control hypos?

How is everyone else doing? The weather is great. Not like couple of days ago when it was TOOOOO hot!

 

[dotnes]

Hi nemo1, the pump is really good. I wouldn't go back to injections, although I did have one 'pump holiday', where I didn't wanna be by the pool attached to this machine, looking special!
It hasn't really reduced my hypo's at all as I was trying to get such tight control when I was pregnant. The good thing is that you can suspend your basal. And it's made my overall sugars much better, recent hba1c was 6.5, the best it's ever been. My problem is I'm totally addicted to sugar.....
So how was your diabetic pregnancy? Were you well behaved with sugar?
All the best, d x

 

[pink23]

hi dotnes i agree with you being addicted to sugar lol. I think the pump has helped me with my hypos mainly at night as like you said you can change your basal.
I have my 2 month review on the 15th and really hoping my hba1c has improved.
Hypos arent too bad and thats with hot weather to. Ive had a really good day as its my birthday and eaten lots of sweets and manged to get my insulin right with a blood sugar of 5 yey.
Hope everyone is well xx

 

[Jaybear5]

Speaking of HBA1C results... At 4 weeks pregnant it was 11.2......at 22 weeks it's now 6.3 x

 

[Jaybear5]

Happy Birthday Pink xx

 

[pink23]

Thats really good for your hba1c jaybear xx
