I had Insulin during my last 10 weeks of pregnancy and was up to 50 units x 5 times a day not good.
Eliza was born macrosomic (obese) but within 24 hrs had thinned out, the paeditian at the birth made the statement that my diabetes wasnt controlled even with this amount of insulin, but in saying that Eliza had perfect bsl's they checked her for the first 24hrs and then occasionly in the following few days. She was rather sleepy thou and developed jaundice prob because the c-sect was scheduled 3 weeks early.
I did the follow up bsl test and came back fine, I mentioned ot my obst at my 6w check up that no one bothered to check me in hospital and he laughed and said no it just goes. Eliza spent a week and half in scn 7 days after the birth due to poor feeding and had a ngt put in mainly because of the jaundice but I had her with me for the first 7 days, her AGPAR scores were 9's and she was perfect not requiring anything.
I wish you all the best on this very special bubs arrival

Thankyou all so much for your replies. I really just wish I knew exactly what I was in for, I guess none of us really know until the time comes.
Shazz - I'm so glad Ryan is doing so well now, he looks beautiful in his pic!!!
Bec - OMG - 50 units, 5 times a day, that's huge, you poor thing. It must have been very stressful for you during your pregnancy. It also must have been so hard when they put Eliza back into the SCN. I hope she's doing really well now.
Flea - What a stupid nurse, stuffing it up & then you having to pay the price of not being able to have your precious bubs in with you for another 24 hours.
Thanks again girls, and if there's anyone else with stories, I would be very grateful.
not good.
