Miss Five,
When I had my son, I was hypoglycemic before I got
pregnant. During the pregnancy, I went into gestational diabetes. I had to watch
everything I put into my mouth, that included catsup, mayo and anything prepared
with salt. I made my own bread, ate only fresh fruits and veggies and meats that
I prepared myself. I ate no sweets at all, no chips and dips etc. I went from
125 lbs to 180 lbs the day of delivery. The morning after I had him, I was 140
lbs, and one week later 125 lbs again.
If you intend to get pregnant, I suggest you go on
an exercise program that is approved by your doctor, watch your diet, take the
vitamins and minerals that you are told. I strongly recommend you discuss all
medications and their side effects with your doctor ahead of time. The doctor
may want to wean certain drugs first. Also, I would go to someone who
specializes in high risk pregnancies. Major medical centers and teaching
hospitals would have such a doctor. FHS, I shall be
praying.
Peace be with you

Hi Five, I have not yet had a baby but am preparing to get pregnant. I've visited a high risk specialist OB and she said it was important to have your sugars in control when you conceive. Both her and my endo suggested my sugars be in control - at a level of 6.5 (A1c) or less for 4-6 months prior to getting pregnant. You may want to take this into consideration if you haven't gotten pregnant yet. I would talk to an OB and they can tell you all the risks involved if your sugars aren't in control. They did say that once you got pregnant, especially during the first 3 months, your sugars will be all whacky due to hormones. I'm sure there are people who have had successful pregnancies if they started out bad. I think if you are already pregnant and start taking the steps to take care of yourself now then you will probably have a safe pregnancy too but I would definitely talk to your doctor. Michelle |

These things are all true. Exercise plan also
should be discussed with your doctor. If the body is fit and you are exercising
each day as you are able, there will be an easier time keeping the blood sugars
under control.
Also, if the person is a smoker, that should also
be stopped, as well as drinking of alcohol.
Peace be with you

I got pregnant without trying... without knowing for the first about 6 weeks. My sugars were well controlled. BUT, my endo that works with the pregnancy stuff said that MANY women do get pregnant with uncontrolled diabetes, and it increases the risk of some birth defects, but only slightly. What's important she said is getting those numbers down as soon as you know. They put me right on insulin, and I'm actually having more difficulty with control now than before I got pregnant. OF course that may be due to the fact I'm having twins.
take care teri |
