Sapna-

Hello! Congrat's! I am also diabetic and I delivered a healthy baby girl almost 3 years ago. You can do the same!! Try your best to calm down because you don't want to stress yourself out, it's not good for you, the baby and your diabetes. You should talk to your Physician about your bg's and he or she can help get you under control. It's not an uncommon thing to see a prego woman w/ diabetes levels go out of control. You have to factor in hormones and stuff like that. One of our experts, Kelsy (Type 1) documented her pregnancy and is now documenting motherhood. You may want to read her sharepost, they are pretty inspiring.

I am a type 1 diabetic and I gave birth to a little boy 3 weeks ago. This was my first pregnancy since I've been diabetic so I was terrified. My doctor was really helpful in guiding me in how to control my blood sugar while I was pregnant. My son was born 5 weeks premature but weighed a healthy 6 pounds 7 ounces. I was told that babies of diabetic mothers tend to be bigger because of the extra sugar in our blood. I would definitely talk to your doctor about your worries because they are there to help you. If your doctor doesn't help you feel better I would recommend to find a doctor that will be more helpful to you.
