Hi Phoebe, plodding on! This forum has been absolutely fantastic and I wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys. 29 weeks now! I have another scan on Wednesday as baby was measuring small but thankful they're keeping a close eye!

Good luck! Here if you want to chat. It's a hard journey but will be worth it in the end! I'm 7 months with my first 🙂 x
 
@Emma19834 Good luck! Try not to be worried about insulin. It is just another medication to help you and you will be well supported in it's use and you will no doubt be fitted with a Freestyle Libre system to help you keep track of your levels more easily when you start using insulin. The needles are absolutely tiny (like a human hair) and the pens are so easy to use. Things are so much easier now with the tech available to manage our levels.

Very best wishes to the other ladies on this thread who are at various stages of your pregnancies.
