We have two bloggers on this site that have type 1 diabetes and have had children without complication.  It takes prep work, but is very doable!  Check Kelsey Bonilla's blogs and Also Kerri Sparling.  Kerri just had a baby in April!

Kelsey's posts: http://www.healthcentral.com/diabetes/c/5868/11665/high-blood-sugar

If you go back to the begining of Kelsey's posts they are all about pregnancy and diabetes!  Highly recommend them if you are thinking about getting pregnant!

There are a few on pregnancy and several others on diabetes, but not pregnancy.

yes,you can still have a baby with diabetes,but you should discuss it with your doctor first because you can't take certain diabetes medications while you are pregnant.i don't know if you are type 1 or 2 but your a1c is to high and it would be a good idea to bring your a1c down to no more than 6 for type 2 and no more than 7 for type 1
