Type 1 diabetes

[pinkbump2011]

I hope all you ladies have a lovely Christmas!!i can't wait my daughter is old enough to understand now an is super excited.

Also had my appt today after my scan last week an baby is measuring normal if not on the small side according to my scan but my fundal height is way above where it should be. Anyone have any experience with this? I've been booked in for another scan at 26 weeks rather than 28 to keep tabs on baby's growth. I'm scared my baby is going to be huge!! Also they have told me I have an anterior placenta but I've been feeling movement for weeks. Does anyone have any history with this? X

Merry christmas everyone! I have been very spoilt and have had a lovely day so far.

 

[MissEJ]

So, lucky me, I thought I'd escaped bad morning/anytime sickness except for the odd queasy feeling... On Xmas day I was siiiiiiiccccckkkkkk.... And I was working today and it happened again! Work don't know yet, so I think they thought I had a really weak bladder.

Due to the roads here I couldn't get to the hospital on Monday, so I've been worried that I missed my check up. But, I've to go this Monday, I just wish I could get a scan to say everything is ok.

Hope everyone else is doing ok?

Hope your ok!

X mas eve i passed out but it wasnt my blood sugar, i went to the docs today and i have really low blood pressure! So he to,d me to increase caffeine and salt lmao.....ughhhhhh.....

 

[MissEJ]

Oh my goodness! If it's not one thing, it's another, I hope you're ok?
I have low blood pressure, I find drinking LOTS of water helps when I'm feeling dizzy, not a nice feeling though, not often you are told to eat salt!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Lol i know!

I've decided to pay to have a scan done today, I'm going a bit crazy with my symptoms, I was as sick as a dog , now nothing, my back is much better and I understand that the hospital want to know my diabetes is ok and I'm fine, I'd like the reassurance that the bean is fine too.

I've been reading a blog by a woman named Kerri https://sixuntilme.com/blog2/2009/10/

It was interesting to read through it.

I had my scan done, little bean was kicking about. Really reassuring.
The ultra sound lady was not much of a charmer, she was mumbling something about the previous patient the whole way through, saying it would have been easier if the lady was less fat and it wasn't her fault the scan couldn't scan through, it kind of ruined my moment... bit awkward... It was over so quick but I'm so glad I had it done.

MissEJ I'm so glad you got the reassurance you needed.

Nikkilewis passing out must have been so scary, hope you are feeling better now.

One symptom replacd by another!

My mum says (old wife's tale) that if you have heartburn throughout, that your baby will be born with a full head of hair!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Yea with my first she was born with a full head of dark brown hair! This time, my heartburns even worse than it was w her ( and it was bad!) and they told me shes only got some fuzz!!

 

[MissEJ]

My cousins baby was born with a full head of black hair, but when it started to grow the routes were white blonde, poor wee one was sporting a rather awful looking hairdo and everyone thought my cousin had dyed it!

I had a public hypo yesterday
Walking the dog with my hubby and my legs gave way, this has never happened and I'd eaten 2 choccie biscuits before the walk. We were only walking for 30mins when it happened.
I don't remember much but my hubby got me and the dog (with special permission) into a coffee shop and gave me the glucagon, I came to drinking sugary tea and a cookie, maybe it was babies way of getting a cookie?
Anyway, my hubby said 6 people stepped around/over me when I collapsed! A lovely lady stopped and took the dog so that he could get me to safety. I don't think I could just 'walk around' if I saw this, but then people may have thought I was drunk?

Omg you ladies need to be careful with all this passing out and bad hypos Hope you aren't feeling to bad now x

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Hi ladies for any if you that are on 2nd plus pregnancies or further along than me when did you notice your insulin needs going up. For the past week my resistance has been horrendous (I'm at clinic on tues) can't help but feel guilty as really don't want a huge baby x
