Anyone diabetic before pregnacy

[Jaybear5]

Just took a pic of my scan notes as they included a little scale thing in regards to the measurments...Thanks for sharing yours btw x

The ratio HC/AC is bellow the 50th centile, so that is good. That Is the thing they worry if is too high. And the femur length you have a very tall baby... I am no doctor but I think your measurements look fine.

 

[Jaybear5]

Thanks hun...Had a suprise growth scan today and here are the measurements from todays....Says she is on the 86th Centile...

Can't remember the exact units of insulin but in 3rd tri I took LOADS. I remember lunch was 40 to 50 units. Lantus 22 and can't remember the rest but I sometimes finished a cartridge in 3 days!!

 

[Jaybear5]

Yeah! It's crazy isn't it?! Amazingly they haven't put up my units but they want me to up them if I feel it's needed... X

Came to hospital today for my pre-op. They checked baby's heart beat and we failed the trace twice. The first time they thought that it was because I was dehydrated. I was given loads of water to drink and put back on the trace. Failed again. We are now waiting for a doctor to see what we should do. So now there's a strong possibility this baby will come before. I am here for around 6 hours now....

 

[Jaybear5]

Oh Hun thinking of you xx

Thinking of you capel - hope everything goes well.

Back at home. The doctor saw the trace and said that it looks normal (the second one). Told to drink loads as I was very dehydrated and come back everyday for a trace until delivery. So now my mornings will be spent at the hospital. And they want me to spend the night before the section at the hospita... So it will be my second home. Not easy when DD is at home... But I rather go everyday for peace of mind. And they may do the section before depending on the traces...

My doc would not let me take Lantus while I was pregnant as she said it wasn't safe..I was put on Humilin N.

I changed to Humulin I when TTC. I was told that many women are now using lantus during pregnancy and up to now it seems that there is no harm, but better safe than sorry...

Capel glad that you are home and they are keeping an eye on you. Hopefully the days til bubs is here go by fast but safely and happily.

Went again to the hospital and the computer keeps failing the traces. I was 4h strapped to that thing. The doctor came to review and she could see nothing wrong. If it fails again tomorrow she is going to get the consultants to decide... Anyway it is only 6 days left. And they want me to spend the night before the section at the hospital... Not much fun.

 

[nemo1]

Oh, lantus not safe?? If someone had mentioned that WHILE I was pregnant I would have panicked and run to the hosp! But will question it before next baby!

Capel hope all is well with you. Sorry you have to be in hosp but situations like these I rather be under observation! And your nearly 38 weeks so it's ok to bring date forward. Gosh your pregnancy seems to have flown by although you may not agree!! All the best hun and will be thinking of you. xx

Hi all

I was t2 diabetic pre pregnancy (well, more insulin resistance due to PCOS, but technically t2). Controlled with diet and metformin so far but I fully expect to be on insulin at some point due to the crazy hormones. My HBA1c at 12w was 5.2 and my daily levels are mostly fine apart from about half time time my morning readings are slightly high ie 6.1 6.3 which is rly annoying. Pre bed protein doesnt seem to help. Theyve said if it turns into every morning being like that then I'll need something extra (ie insulin) but thats fine, Ill cope.

Just wanted to say hi etc as I hate people who only join threads when they need something, then piss off again when theyre done ^^

 

[capel]

Just came back from hospital and I am having my little girl tomorrow. According to the consultant she is fine, the traces look normal, but just in case they are delivering tomorrow. As I am 38 weeks anyway why stress? I don't sleep for 2 nights worrying, so better out when at least I can see she is fine. I have to go to hospital tonight because they want to put me in a sliding scale so I can have stable levels during the night. I will update tomorrow. I am so excited...
