Just curious. I didn't have any with C (23m) and just pondering what I might expect next time.
 
If you are in Birmingham I have heard that they have a good clinic there as well as in Warwick and Coventry which are closer to me. My GP said that this area is particularly good for pre-conception and pregnancy care, but then she might be a little biased!!
 
Mine was great (St Mary's, Manchester). Felt really well informed and very reassured that it was possible to be diabetic and pregnant!
 
I am indeed in Birmingham. My regular team are fab, so I'm hoping that bodes well, given that last time (another hospital) I had precisely no pre-con care.
 
I was seen every couple of months by a dsn until my control was good enough to start trying for a baby. My hba1c was done every couple of months too.
