| I have a pump as well and I am on my first pregnancy at 15+5 weeks. It has been very hard so far! I luckily didn't have many problems with the morning sickness, WOOHOO! The first trimester and half of the second are going to be the hardest because of lows all the time! I go for a short walk and find that it drops to below 30! It is very frustrating! My basal rates have been changed many times so far by my endo. I see my OB every 2 weeks and so far have had 2 ultrasounds with many more to go. I do not have any complications from the diabetes as far as my own medical history and so far the pregnancy is progressing normally. My level 2 ultrasound is scheduled for 11/2, so that will be more in depth to make sure that everything looks normal, and then between 22-24 weeks I'll need to have a fetal echo done (that looks at the function of the heart because babies of diabetic moms have more heart problems). Basically, it comes down to having very tight control on your sugars and taking proper vitamins (such as folic acid to prevent spina bifida). You may want to look into continuous glucose sensors so that you don't have to prick your fingers as often. Good luck!  |
