I just hope nothing goes wrong between now and then
I always panic and worry that something's going to happen which means I'll lose bubba
Sweetie try not to worry, i know its hard been there done that.
Because you know aboput the pregnancy there is even less chance something will go wrong because you can look after yourself, and be aware of anything going on thats not right.
Look after yourself xx

I didnt know i had diabetes when i was preggy with my first bubby, but istill went through the same thing as you i spent the first 4 months practically LIVING at the hospital!! i was there in A&E at least once a week, i was convinced i would lose my little fellow.
what im trying to get at hun is its natural to feel the way you do. You have this perfect little life inside you and you never ever want anything to go wrong for your perfect little one. But i can tell you something .... i can PROMISE yes PROMISE things will be okay ... do you want to know how i can tell? - BECAUSE YOU CARE!!! you are being cautious, your maternal insticts have kicked in and your already protecting your little one. you WILL be okay hun. Just relax, Keep on top of your diabetes, and enjoy your sleep! because believe me ..... sleepless nights are a coming! lol
you will be fine hunny i promise!!

Aww thank you so much for those kind words, Onyx.
I felt really bad earlier. I went out and bought another 2 tests just to convince myself that I AM pregnant and that bubba is OK and it came up straight away as positive which really put my mind at ease. I'm so grateful that I am and I get to be a Mummy to the absolute best of my abilities.
I am struggling with sleep though at the moment. I just can't settle or get comfy so any tips on a good night's sleep are more than welcome.
Oh, and we've got bubba's names picked out
I know it's early but OH and I like to get things sorted hehe.For a girl:
Imogen Lucy
and for a boy:

Its okay hun,
I know how it is, i was the worst pregnant woman in the world! lmao and i did that two, my hubby killed me as i spent ?200 yes ?200 on pregnancy tests in boots and there was only one brand i would use - first response, i did a test every week for the first 6 months lol - he was not at all happy!!!
LOVELY name!! im liking the name elliot! i think im might steal that name from you when i have my next one lmao!
As for sleeping .... right the best thing i found was a pregnancy wedge, its a HUGE wedge of cusion / foam, that slots under your bump (when oyur on your side) so it lift bubba to a comfy position, it also goes inbetween your legs to stop the pressure on your hips its really comfy, failing that put a pillow under baby, and throw a leg over hubby in the night but either way sleeping with your legs apart really helps with the pressure on those old hips! i would refrain from sleeping on your back - its very uncomforatble and isnt very good for your back, but i would ask your midwife about laying on your back for the last 3 months of my pregnancy i was so big i had to sleep sitting up, with a bean bag and pillows supporting my neck, back and legs. But i hope you dont get too bad with the uncomforatble ness. just keep tellin gyourself - THIS IS DEF GOING TO BE WORTH IT!!! You got a gorgeous baby inside you your doing great hun xx
