Hello, I just found out I'm pregnant with my third child at 41. I've been diabetic for 12 years, my other two children are 12 and 8. Not sure why, maybe becuase of my age, but this time around seems scarier than the last two!

Been sick, been moody, been crying - ridiculous! So anyway just wanted to say hello, I'm only 5 weeks so early days - will be a regular visitor here now I think, this forum is great 🙂

A warm welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy!
 
Hi Jenny, welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your pregnancy! 🙂 We have lots of members who know just what you are going through, so please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. 🙂
 
Hi jenny,

Welcome & congratulations! 🙂

There's quite a few diabetic mums to be & recent mums here, so at least you're in good company! This is a great forum, really supportive when you need to let off steam etc, so don't be afraid to be as hormonal as you like! (I know I have been, and it helped! 😉)

All the best,

Twitchy x
 
Jenny - congratulations, and hope everything goes well with this pregnancy.

Perhaps your situation is different this time round? Different partner? Different part of the world? Older children to consider? Any one of those would be enough to make it scarier this time round. But, there are members here who can help, so just ask. Members would like to read answers you post, too.

Hi Jenny

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your pregnancy. I have a 8 month old, this forum helped me keep sane through my pregnancy especially to know I wasn't alone with 3 other women pregnant at the same time as me. I hope you have a stress free pregnancy x
