Hi,

As far as I am aware all is ok. I will be 15 weeks tomorrow. I’m a little nervous as we lost our son at 16 weeks so fast approaching that milestone. I’m still being monitored closely by the diabetic/maternity team. At the moment my appointments are fortnightly rather than weekly as the diabetes is under great control.

I’ve had a few little wobbles along the way. I had a letter to say they had detected group b strep so that’s another issue for labour and I will need to be on an IV antibiotic as soon as I go into labour. However it wasn’t even present at my last appointment. It comes and goes apparently. I had a little wobble with some orange discharge a couple of weeks ago so mentioned it to the midwife. They took a vaginal swab to check for infections etc. It showed a growth of normal bacteria but they prescribed antibiotics just to be precautious. My medication stash no resembles that of a 90 year old but I’m willing to take it all if it means a healthy baby.
I’m on metformin, pregnancy vitamins, folic acid ( decided to keep taking it for a while longer), antibiotics, aspirin, slow release nighttime insulin, j also have novorapid so I can have some carbs at mealtimes when I need to...it’s hilarious!
 
Yes strep b can come and go so don’t worry too much about that now.
Glad everything is going pretty well and hope you get through the 16 week milestone gently.

I don’t know if it would help you but I had some sessions with a hypnotherapist when I was pregnant with my last one as I’d had problems with with the birth of my first and had a miscarriage in between. It didn’t do a great deal for me during labour but was a good way to relax and deal with worries in the 6 weeks leading up to birth.
 
We had our 20 week scan this morning and all is well. Baby is growing at a normal rate, everything is present and correct. I am delighted to say we are expecting a girl.
