diabetic pregnancy

hi mummies any of u actually have serious diabetes before pregnancy? and baby is safe and delivery has been safe too? i am diabetic and had to go for eye injection for bleeding in retinal.. found out im pregnant 2weeks ago and went to google on diabetic pregnancy and saw the risks and everything. got reali depressed and moody. went for my first gynae visit on 18th and told the doc i am diabetic and so far was ok. doc only highlighted to reali control etc. and finally i decided to move out of my worries and depression mode and start taking control. but today went to c my diabetes doctor and told him i am preggy. his reaction and everything got mi so depressed, worried and sad again. i know he is concerned but he makes mi feel so awful and worried. worried my baby would be harm, worried i would goes blind. and i am reali feeling very depressed 😔 my HbA1c today was 6.8. it has already been improving over the past one year actually. i can't helps feeling that he is making me feels that i should not even be getting pregnant! 💔

hi mommy im diabetic for my 2nd pregnancy. but im only put on insulin and metformin. i have to admit in SG theyre really strict w diabetes, whatmore diabetes in pregnancy. im put at a high risk pregnancy clinic and every week the nurse will contact me to ask for my sugar readings. ive come to a point where im really dreading it. my hba1c is 6.7, better thn my 1st pregnancy. but to them, still not good enough. every check up i feel useless. because my readings are never food enough for them. they really2 want my pre readings to be around 4-5 and post readings to be 5-7 that sometimes i dont even feel like eating. everyday alrdy have to jab insulin thn like they also super strict w the readings. address to your gynae and talk to them. they only want best for your baby. i totally get that but sometimes i really hate the pressure. dont google too much, dont think too much. just continue to do your best to keep a healthy diet and do walks if your gynae gives green light. theyre always more strict when it comes to diabetic pregnancy so dont let that affect you okay.

up till now at 34 weeks pregnant. 7x a day. sometimes i give once a week. they wanted more readings but i told them ill give what i can. minimum 2 readings i try. its not easy for me to commit to giving readings when im caring for toddler full time. i tend to forget to prick on time thn the timing all over the place. i always remind the doctor ill give them to the best of my ability but i cannot promise them alot of readings every visit.
