Hi Cleo, so sorry for the delay!
Things been hectic. Induction went well, within 2 hours of first meda contractions started and progressed very quickly, Charlie Rose was born at 8pm same day weighing 8lb 8oz at 37?weeks. No intervention which was lovely and she stayed with me from birth which was so lovely. It was touch and go if I would get my epidural as things moved so fast but managed to get one in the nick of time at 9cm (I told them bit to bother with sliding scale as I wanted pain relief!)
We were admitted to hospital last night though as Charlie has jaundice which means she falls asleep too much rather than feeding. She is responding well to phototherapy so just waiting for the docs to come to tell me when we can go home!
On the whole Charlie is gorgeous and the diabetes is fine, insulin gone right down and I am breast feeding. The birth was not affected by the diabetes and other than the blip this week she is fine. Her big sister is fantastic with her 🙂
