| Hi! I second the things that UpNorth has said- she has brought up a lot of good points! It was unexpected news, and whatever you choose, it will have an impact on both you and your boyfriend for the rest of your life. It is a hard decision to make, and it is better to take time to seriously consider the outcome. My advice would be to please not make this decision too quickly- take awhile to think about it.
It's very encouraging to hear that so many people have had successful pregnancies with all ranges of diabetic control (I've been doing a little research on other threads in this forum, too!), and it truly seems that you have a good chance to have a healthy baby.
It seems like you have many resources available to you- with grandparents nearby and quite a bit of time to try for a job. I wholeheartedly wish you all the best in this process and will be praying that everything works out for what is best for you! |
