Diabetes and pregnancy can be extremely difficult to manage together, with insulin requirements changing hugely and blood sugar levels becoming extremely unpredictable. One of the greatest joys of the forum for me has been in following the stories of the many ladies who have announced their pregnancies there, and seeing all the fantastic support they have received from others. Much advice has been provided by experienced Mums, but also there have been several occasions where more than one member has been at a very similar stage with their babies, so have been able to compare notes and tips, and also to ensure all our mums-to-be have been getting the best possible care.
I’m not sure if Emma31 was the first to announce her pregnancy, but she is very representative of this life-changing event. After all the ups and downs, Emma was finally able to relate the story of beautiful baby Jessica’s birth, which was fraught with difficulty, but with the outcome we all wanted to hear! She is rapidly approaching her first birthday now! Since then, many more ladies have announced their pregnancies, so the wisdom and experience of others is a constant source of information and support and I'm sure it makes the world of difference to all the ladies to have this.
