"Balancing Pregnancy with pre-existing diabetes" by Cheryl Alkon has a section on new motherhood, but that chapter is focused mostly on the first few months which is probably not what you are looking for... Sixuntilme.com is a fantastic blog by a T1 mother (her daughter is a year old, I think) that has lots of great information, and fun to read. She talks about the fears that us diabetic mothers have too... explaining diabetes to a very young child, lows while taking care of baby, etc.

Have you checked out six until me? (www.sixuntilme.com) her baby is now a toddler but she blogged all through her pregnancy. I think sugarbetic did too.

I second sixuntilme.com. I actually found that blog shortly after I was diagnosed, right when my husband and I were TTC (which had to be put on pause, of course). It really helped me a lot to read about her experiences and successful pregnancy. (Not that there were zero complications.)

I love sixuntilme.com. LOVE.

I recently started a blog about parenting with Type 1 diabetes - www.type1momma.com

I will be doing some writing about pregnancy, since I am pregnant with #2 but mostly I want to write about juggling life with small children while managing my own diabetes.

Hope it's ok that I posted here.

I'm really enjoying these! I've also discovered that I just need a place for myself to vent as well, so I'm adding mine to the pile. We'll see how it goes :)

I blog about Type 1 diabetes and pregnancy at diabeticbirth.blogspot.com, with an emphasis on a lower-intervention pregnancy and birth. I just had my third baby in June and hope to have as many as I can! Hope you find the help you need.
