Hi Karen
Yes you can, the insulin won't "go into" the baby 🙂
Not sure how pregnant you are but the skin on your stomach will start to stretch as your belly grows so you'll need to find new injection sites (aahh the joys...). I'd suggest that you speak to your DSN about it - s/he can give you some good tips. Also there is a separate "pregnancy" section on this forum so might be better to post there 🙂

Hi karen, I moved your question to the Pregnancy section, so hopefully some of our other mums will see it there 🙂 As you are injecting just below the skin I wouldn't have thought there would be any problem, but I can't advise from personal experience, being a bloke!
Hope all is going well for you 🙂
