I am 34 yrs old and 8 weeks pregnant with a starting weight of 103 kgs.
This is my second pregnancy and had gestational diabetes during my last pregnancy so I have heard a lot about high risk.
I am now not only diabetic but also they cant tellif its gestational as at my 12month test I WASNT diabetic but 10months later at 5.5 weeks pregnant I was showing diabetes.
So this time around I am already considered HIGH risk... but wait theres more LOL they sent me in for a ultrasound to check bubs due to the diabetes and tell me im expecting twins... now apparently Im VERY HIGH risk?
Either way, Adelaide Womens and Childrens is one of the better places in Australia to be cared for an honestly I think I might prefer there to my local hospital. Despite the team locally being excellent last time around.
I am in a secondary hospital (tertiary being the big ones like AWCH and Royal Brisbane Women and Childrens (I am currently in Brisbane area) but I grew up in Adelaide for 23yrs.
I agree on the maternity clothes thing.. last time around I wore ugly sack type shapeless dresses cos it was all I could find. I have already told my other half I wont do that this time!
Goodluck with everything and pleeeeease Message me and add me to buddys or MSN if you like! I am more than happy to help support you as without Bellybelly I would have freaked out in my first pregnancy esp once I got the GD.
