Avatar n tn My babies were really big and my diabetes had to kept under very tight control during my pregnancy. My diabetes actually got alittle bit worse with each child. The doctors finally told me not to have anymore because my third child was 10lbs 3 ounces. They thought that it would not be beneficial to my health to have another one. All of my children were born jaundice and had to spend time under the bililights. I was told that was due to my insulin use but I don't know if that is true.
Avatar f tn Anyone with diabetes and pregnant.?. So I'm on the pump and latter this after noon I realized my sugar was staying elevated. (260) Now I check it it's 396 and this is as high as it's ever been sense being pregnant I'm flipping out because I don't want it to hurt my baby but my bf is saying it's OK cause this is the first time ever being this high. Advice? I'm nervous and scared.
Avatar f tn Haha I hate diabetes and being pregnant. I'm hormonal as is and when my sugar gets a little low I'm a raging witch! It makes me laugh after but at the time everybody's like hey go eat some candy and shush. At least we're healthy for the most part here tho. She's not to big or small fluids good heart rates great. Can't wait till I can get rid of these dang hormones tho.
Avatar f tn Sometimes pregnancy and hormones can make diabetes flare up and throw your sugars off. When you are high the baby is high. Extra careful diet will be required and maybe extra insulin. Lots of people have babies with Type II but it's how they manage the two that makes the difference.
1281603 tn?1283798699 I would like to add to that advice that diabetic complications are very real and to encourage everyone diagnosed with either form of diabetes or even pre-diabetes to take responsibility to monitor and control your blood sugars on a daily basis. We tend to trust doctors to keep us well and especially here in the U.S. we rely on medication for EVERYTHING. No doctor can follow us around 24/7 and make sure we eat right, exercise, maintain healthy weight and take the meds they actually prescribe.

Avatar n tn What care can a woman follow when she is pregnant and suffers bodily injury bad enough she needs to be taken to the hospital? Can the lives of the baby, woman, or both be saved?

Avatar n tn My bf has had a wound on his leg since we returned from Costa Rica (about 7 weeks ago). It is painful and is somewhat large. He has been cleaning it, covering it but still isn't sure how he got it or what it is. We have had a Dr.look at it but he didn't seem worried. Still it isn't getting better and we're not sure what to do next.
Avatar f tn I have type 1 diabetes and had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy at 6 weeks due to the uncontrolled blood sugar levels. Im now 13 weeks pregnant and have been seeing a diabetic specialist since I was 5 weeks. Its very hard to be a pregnant diabetic but take your time and make sure your taking care of yourself.
Avatar n tn Hi. I am a type 1 diabetic since I was 6 y.o. I am now 27 and just recently had my first baby. Like you, I have never been in good control with an A1c in the 9s and 10s. Hate testing cause I was always high. But when I found out I was pregnant, I did everything I could to change my habits and get my sugars under better control. I got my A1c down to 8 by the second trimester. Then everything changed and my sugars went up again. they will do that in the second and third trimester.
Avatar f tn I went to the My Dr. appt. Today And they Gave me my Glucose Tolarence Test Results, and it looks like I Have Gestational Diabetes (GD). It's Been Very Hard To Keep A Great Diet In This pregnancy. Does anyone else have GD and are having a Hard Time with this? I'm 27 weeks. With My last pregnancy I did so good didn't gain any weight, and with this pregnancy I've already gained almost 20lbs.
Avatar f tn s age, but reasons could include diabetes with uncontrolled glucose, onset of nuclear cataracts, and degenerative myopia with progressive axial growth of the eye and retinal degeneration. Your sister should see an ophthalmologist for a complete exam, including dilation. She may also need to see a retinal specialist.

I went into labor at 34 weeks, but her lungs were not ready. The doctors stopped the labor three times and at 35 weeks, my daughter was born weighing 6 lbs. 9 oz.. She was very healthy.

Avatar f tn I think all the things they say about being overweight while pregnant aren't really true and basically apply to every single lady that's pregnant.

Avatar m tn Also when using the computer about every 15 minutes look away from the screen and out the window or down the hall and refocus on a distant object. Then blink you eyelids hard 5-6 times. This rests/stretches the focus muscle of the eye and moisturizes the cornea.
