Double whammy - diabetes and baby!

I had my first positive at 10DPO after a day of painful breasts and a little nausea. Went to the doctor as soon for confirmation, only to be told that I have type 1 diabetes also!

It has been a whirlwind week since then. Rather than a simple midwife, I have an entire obstetrics team looking after me. I have to inject insulin four times a day and test my blood glucose levels about 10 times.

While I am scared about the possible complications this "high risk" pregnancy could involve, I am just so excited about the future! Miracles come in all shapes, sizes and packages :)

I am now six weeks tomorrow and am going in for my dating scan. Scans will be very regular for me because of the diabetes to ensure everything is going smoothly, but I can't wait xxx
