Hi Krissyd67 - I'm glad that you were blessed and I hope all is well. I am a 34 year old Type 1 diabetic. I've been diabetic for 31 years. I just found out that I am 7 weeks pregnant and when I saw a high risk pregnancy ob-gyn he informed me that it was best that I terminate the pregnancy and that I should tie my tubes. My creatin is 2.0, my A1c is 8.6% and I have hypertension - it was unexpected. I was told that the baby's anomolies are 5% to 10% (100% being good) and that I could have a heart-attack and even if I survived the heart attack I would have organ damage. Were you in better shape than me?

Hi EmmaSad, Ive been an IDD for 30 years 5years ago i gave birth to a beautiful healthy little girl, my diabetes was not in the best shape when I got pregnant my hba1c was 9.5%, slowy during the pregnancy I got it down to 7% everything in my pregnancy was prefect, I am now 31 weeks pregnant with my second hild and everything going well, again my diabetes wasnt perfect when i concieved and my hba1c has been between 7% and 7.5% throughout. Im not a doc but I think tying your tubes is a bi much why dont you try and get in better control then try for a wee baba xx I wish you the best of luck |
