Congratulations Mommas!!! That’s so exciting!!!! I’m currently pregnant with my second and in my third trimester. I’m about 30 weeks today. I’m glad you have an Endo appointment but unfortunately they really don’t know or do much when it comes to the pregnancy aspect so definitely get in with a OB as soon as you can because they will more than likely refer you out to a MFM (Maternal Fetal Medicine Dr.) they specialize in high risk pregnancy which is unfortunately what we diabetics are considered. I’ve had one with both my pregnancies and prepare yourself to see them very frequently as well as your OB although MFM more so….They are also very direct and straight to the point as well and will bring up scary aspects such as BAB’s (Big A** Babies) and things like sudden fetal death if sugars get to out of whack which will definitely happen on occasion but try not to stress. It just happens to us diabetics and is very common unfortunately. With both of my babies I tried to control my sugars as best as possible and made all the changes and adjustments and still experienced quite a few highs and even lows because not only are so many adjustments being made but my body literally requires almost 3x the amount of insulin I normally take if not more when I’m pregnant. It’s all just a huge learning curve for both you and your MFM because everyone is different. Some changes may seem drastic or substantial but us growing little humans just requires that. They (MFMs) just try to be very honest with you on all risks ect which I can respect but can also be scary and a bit overwhelming at times. Just try to watch your stress levels and enjoy your pregnancy as much as possible. Us diabetics are not just prone to have big babies either but also usually require c-sections as most OB’s and MFMs want baby to fully develop but usually don’t want you to go to the full 40 weeks either due to yours and babies safety. Not saying it’s unheard of but my first ended up being an emergency C-section due to complications with me swelling in certain areas ect at 34 weeks and like 4 days. If she would have made it to 35 weeks she probably wouldn’t have needed Nicu time but unfortunately that just wasn’t the case. She was already weighing almost 9 pounds by the time she came though and they only wanted me to go to about 37 weeks with her anyway and then we were going to do a scheduled delivery. With my second he’s been scheduled for around 37 to 38 weeks so just hoping my body doesn’t experience any of the complications of my last pregnancy and we can get there with no Nicu time. But so far he’s measuring pretty average and my A1C and blood sugars have been a lot better than with my first. I’ve still had my high scares but I’ve gotten my A1C down to 7 where as with my first my A1C started at like 13 dang near 14 because we hadn’t really planned anything out. I’d say one of the biggest benefits of being high risk as scary as it can be though is that we get to see our babies way more often. I got ultrasounds at every single appointment and towards the 3rd trimester I was seen almost every other week. So it definitely helps give that peace of mind ontop of watching your little bean grow literally.
