I had my fist apointment at the maternity hospital yesterday. I had my dating scan first, and was very pleased to find out that I'm 2 weeks further on than I thought - am 12 weeks exactly 🙂
It was such a relief to see a little baby squiggling away in there - I swear it waved at us! Also saw a lovely healthy little heart beating away
They took LOADS of blood from me - not good for a needle phobic - and 5 mins later a nurse burst in and was forcing tea and shortbread into me because my blood sugars were at 3.1.
The upshot of it all is I'm attending the diabetic clinic at the maternity hospital every fortnight, and monitoring my blood at home 8 times a day. I'm determinted to keep as tight a control on this as I can, the consultant yesterday was SO negative. I asked him about diet etc and he went "Oh, that doesnt apply to you, if your sugars go high it's straight onto insulin" 😡
I think not.
So I have 3 weeks to keep things as stable as I can through diet and excercise - any tips on snacking?? I'm hungry CONSTANTLY!!!!!
