This has probably come up 101 times before, but I think me and DH may TTC in the coming months - or at least think more seriously about it!
I am a diabetic (type 1) and so the likliehood of extra intervention is likely (as far as I an tell that seems to be the norm unfortuntely) and I am squeamish to say the least. Not to mention, due to being a bit of a control freak over my own body (although nothing else) worried about being 'told' I need things that, in fact, make things easier for the staff rather than myself and the baby. (I have also read some threads re Type 1's and their birth stories on MN which hasn't helped matters!)
So, anyone out there, pregnant or those already with children - what are your thoughts on the whole thing? Are you too squeamish, scared, denial, or gloriously positive? All stories and opinions would be helpful (I think )
Thanks!
