I know I've asked this so many times (or have I?) I feel like I'm in such a wierd situation could do with some stories or words of hope ? Have u known anyone in a similar situation being pregnant with a recent diagnosed child how the hell does it work??? Does it work or does the mother eventually go insane and get sent down for a nutcase? I am losing my mind over everything rn
 
Well my mum didn't have a T1 toddler, but she did have a toddler whilst nursing her dying mother at home and heavily pregnant with me - lots of people have lots of different problems. Strikes me you could do with a local social circle - are there no 'Mother and toddler' or 'Playgroup' arrangements anywhere near you - church halls or wherever?

My Mum was 6 months pregnant with my baby brother when I was diagnosed 54 years ago. Mum turns 83 this year. You will survive just take one day at a time and good luck with your pregnancy.
 
My daughter is in a similar situation. She is beside herself atm but we are all doing our best to support her.
We have taken a lot of support from this group so keep talking and read some of the posts on here for reassurance x
