Hello,
Not entirely sure how this has happened (apart from the obvious!)
I discovered on Tuesday that we are expecting another little baby. Those of you who know me and my history know why this is utterly terrifying at the moment. With Eris I had lost loads of weight, my levels were in the non diabetic range etc. currently my hba1c is the worst it’s ever been and my weight is back up. I’ve admittedly failed to look after myself over the last two years since she arrived.
This pregnancy was not planned but it seems divine intervention has had other ideas for us.
I had a scan yesterday (on my 42nd birthday no less) and am measuring 5 and a half weeks with a nice heartbeat.
I’m just terrified that the damage is already done and I am going to face another loss.
The maternity unit were great and have prescribed my insulatard slow release night time insulin and novorapid. I’m also now using the libre as they are finding it very successful for pregnant women. I’ve got straight back on my healthy eating plan but I’m just so scared.
