Things look good so far.  I didn't have a physical exam yet, I'll do that Feb. 8th.  I won't know any results of the blood test until probably Tuesday.  I'm hopeful that all is well. 


I'm taking huge amts. of insulin though, so I'm worried about weight gain associated with that vs/ the baby.  I have gained 4 pounds already, and I actually think it's more from the insulin than the baby so far.  I'm concerned about it, but I don't think there is a lot I can do about it.  I'll just have to try and breast feed this one to help shed the pounds after it's born!!  Wish me luck!

Misty,


Ask for a visit with a dietitian for meal planning help. You need a special eating plan now that you are pregnant and you also need to exercise to help keep from gaining too mcuh weight. Did yout ell us if you are going to a high risk OB doc? Both your diabetes doc and your OB need to woek together to make sure both of you are okay and stay that way.


I look forward to your next report.
