Hey all,

I have just got my HbA1c results back and i am 6.4%. Which means i can start to try make babies!! I am so pleased. My Diabetic nurse said if i was over 7% then to hold fire and i would need to meet up with her but if not then i can keep everything crossed except my legs lol

I am so chuffed though as i do tend to worry at the best of times

Watch this space...... :D

Brilliant news.

6.4% is a great result. Happy baby making 😉😉

Hi Emma....if all goes swimmingly (teehee) this will be baby no 2. Can't imagine i would want to go through it all again after this though! Its taken me nearly 5 years to get over the last one :confused: And now worry as i am 5 years older about my eyes, kidneys, weight, state of mind (lol) etc etc

I thought it was just me with the nightmares of pregnancy but since reading all the threads on here realise i wasn't the only one. Strangely i found it some comfort (not that i would wish it on anyone) but read all the support you all gave one another and suddenly didn't feel like i was wondering alone in the dark!

Love Bernie xx 🙂

I can understand why it took 5 years to get over the last pregnancy. I'm not sure still whether I'll be having another but that's my personal choice, I was lucky enough to have 3 wonderful ladies on here who were also pregnant at the time who gave me loads of support without them I would have been lost 😉

I'll be reading with interest your journey and give you any support you may need along the way 🙂 xxx
 
I wonder if there is anyone who has had 2 in quick succession?

I think I may have to. I will be 36 when this little one arrives, and I feel v v strongly about not having an only child. Ideally I would like 3 but I think that is out of the question. Neither Theo or I have a big family so I feel I need to create some family for them.

Hey Rachel,
I know the feeling as we have a very small (but close) family but i am so worried in particular re my eyes that i think one more pregnancy will have to be enough. I developed background retinopathy after the birth of my daughter even though my HBA1c was around 4/5 % but worries me hugely nevertheless. I have kept it all at bay but worried that another pregnancy could be to the detriment of my health. I am prepared to take that gamble as from previous experience looked after myself very well but, like you, would like 3 but don't think i could go through it twice again!
Love Bernice xx 🙂
