amanda~ replied to Kelly Collins's discussion 'More misinformation by the general public' in the group Oh!

Only 8 weeks max left till baby arrives!
I am currently at 31 weeks pregnant and I already know that if baby doesn't come on it's own by week 39 (July 5) I will be induced. On the one hand I cannot believe that I have only 8 weeks max left, but also cannot believe that I still have 8 weeks max to go....pregnancy is a loooonnnngggg process. Wow!I have been reading everyone's posts on here over the past months and I am super excited for all of you ladies who's babies have already arrives and also super excited for all of us ladies with…See More
amanda~ replied to Tziporah's discussion 'pre-e and the risks of another pregnancy?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"My OB told me that with type 1 diabetes there's an increased risk of developing pre-e, however he followed that statment with "if you do develop pre-e we will monitor you like crazy and get you on blood thinners for all future…"
amanda~ replied to amanda~'s discussion 'I get scared...' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Thank you ladies all so much for your openness and support. I appreciate hearing that I am not alone in my fears and concerns. I have opted to not read much and limit my online searches in an effort to avoid unnecessary freaking out.
Today I had an…"
Super_sally replied to amanda~'s discussion 'I get scared...' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Hi,
yes it's normal and it does get better once baby is moving and you can feel it. I am now 33 weeks (this is my 6th pregnancy - had 4 miscarriages between my daughter and this one). I couldn't really accept that the pregnancy was viable…"
LemonTea replied to amanda~'s discussion 'I get scared...' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I hear you! I felt this way the entire pregnancy! I had days when I was very optimistic and thought things were going the right way, and days when all the negative thoughts were on me and i couldn't get out of that phase. I had all the bad…"
Kristin Coles replied to amanda~'s discussion 'I get scared...' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Hi Amanda. I am now 11 weeks along and am going through the same thing. This is my first too. I was doing great since my last ob apt last week where i got to hear that beautiful little heartbeat. And according to my Dexcom my sugars have improved…"
Kristin replied to amanda~'s discussion 'I get scared...' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Amanda, I had a fear of being pregnant long before I ever got pregnant. The fear is because of diabetes.
Every time I had a high (or even slightly high) blood sugar, I felt scared, guilty, powerless...
I can't say that the fear ever went away,…"
Lauren replied to amanda~'s discussion 'I get scared...' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"You are sooo NOT nuts! I was terrified of losing my baby, especially before I could feel him moving (around 21 weeks I think). I so looked forward to any doctor appointment, just so that I could hear his heartbeat or see him on ultrasound. I think…"

Marps said… - Hey Amanda. Thanks for the friend request. What'd you like to know about Metformin and pregnancy? I was using Metformin only when the insulin resistance kicked into full gear. I've always struggled with insulin resistance and was on Metformin for a few months prior to getting pregnant. Metformin is said to help with the in-fertility issues caused by insulin resistance pre-existing in insulin dependant diabetics. There's an article on diabetes mine about it.

Welcome home amanda~
Take a peek at some the groups when you get a chance. Just go to the top of your page, and click on "Groups". Once in, you can either peruse the wide array of available groups....or simply type a specific interest in the space provided. Take in some of the blogs/discussions and take a look at the Canada Embassy page as well, by going to the headings in the aqua coloured box in the upper left hand of the home page. Click on "DHF Grassroots". Once you're in scroll down, click on "Canada embassy", and voilà! The house in the photo is where Dr. Frederick Banting lived and had his medical practice in London, Ontario, Canada...before going to the University of Toronto to work on diabetes research, and ultimately the discovery of Insulin.
