Pregnancy

Hi I have just found out I am pregnant with my third child (I was diabetic throughout all of them)

Can you give me any tips on combating the sickness and nausea? Cant remember it being this bad. I have cut back on caffeine and drinking plenty of water.

Also, wondered which specialists would be involved in my care. Previously, before doing dafne, I had a diabetic nurse help with adjustments and diet on a week to week basis. would this now not be needed?

any thanks for your help. Caroline

Cant offer any meaningful advice but I would expect you to recieve much more specialist care now your expecting, even though you have done DAFNE and are much more confident changing doses...........as the stories I have heard is that nothing make sense in terms of your blood sugars, your high then your low.......

As you have had two already I am sure you are the most qualified person to know how your body behaves in pregnancy.........

Get on to your diabetic team and good luck with it all.............

How exciting - congratulations!

As for advice, unfortunately I've yet to one child, so I've had a look online at the nhs site for advice on Morning Sickness Treatment - hopefully this will help at least a little bit with the sickness side of things. Good luck!

I think it would be more up to you on the specialist front - but if they were a big help before, I would make sure you ask for the assistance, if you're not sure that you will get it.
It's a bit much to me for them to leave you to it just because you're on DAFNE if that was the case.
