pregnant after 2 losses

jadams0927

I'm a diabetic so I have a high risk pregnancy. I've suffered 2 losses due to not knowing I was diabetic. That was 4 years ago fast forward to the last 3 months, we were in the middle of buying a house and dealing with a wedding and trying to plan a family vacation so I wasn't taking the best care of my Blood Sugars and came back with an A1C of 12. I was devastated I did have an ultrasound and the sack looks good and I saw a heart beat and the last 3 weeks I've been taking care of my BGL and keeping them tight! Do you think I am doomed with this baby as well? I'm so scared I don't think my heart can handle another loss even though we weren't trying and this was a COMPLETE surprise we are happy and scared all at the same time!

Today you are pregnant. I think the best thing you can do is keep good control of your sugars now and from here on out. I dont think any baby is doomed. Congratulations on all of your recent accomplishments. .. sounds like a lot on your plate. T&P for you and baby. Take a deep breath and know that you are doing all you can today for a healthy baby, and we will all send positive vibes for your LO to grow :-)

Welcome and congratulations! Focus on the fact that baby looks good and has a beautiful heartbeat! You're focusing more on your sugars now, so hopefully your little one will be just fine. Sending T&P that both of you stay healthy and that you're able to work through all the life events/stressors so that you can relax and put your feet up a little bit

Congrats and welcome.  I agree with the other ladies, focus on the fact that the baby looked great and you have a heartbeat.  Now you can really focus on taking care of yourself.

Congrats and welcome! Just focus on getting that a1c level back down and getting healthy for you and baby. My cousin was in a similar situation when she got pregnant and she is now 33 wks and her a1c is down to 7! Good luck ((hugs))
