Welcome mild. I'm not diabetic, but one of my best mum friends is type 1 - and currently pregnant with #3. She's had consultant-led care each time, and has sometimes struggled to keep her blood sugars within the tighter limits they've set.
One of the main differences she's found is that she has had more scans in the second half of pregnancy - to check baby's weight gain etc - so there's been no point not finding out the baby's gender at the 20 week scan, as it's always been obvious at at least one scan!
She was induced with her first, and had quite a medicalised labour - she always knew it would be an induction at around 37 weeks, and she'd probably be on a drip for sliding-scale insulin. For her second, she went in to labour naturally at 37 weeks, and had a completely different birth - just them and the midwife. Both went well in the end though - healthy mum and baby - so it's more to point out that it could go either way so be prepared. She did get quite frustrated at NCT classes when they were banging on about non-medicalised birth etc - but then she wasn't the only one!
Post-birth, she's found it easier to be quite routine-led, as she just can't do the whole 'I've had the baby in my arms/crying/feeding all day and haven't even found time for a sandwich' thing that some new mums seem to do (though this wasn't my experience anyway!). She's also mix-fed from early on so her husband can do the 10pm feed - she sleeps from 8pm to 3am, then does the middle of the night feed - as she finds if she's over tired her sugars are all over the place.
Hope that helps a bit - do shout if there are any specific questions - I can't ask her on your behalf just yet as I can't admit to being part of an ante-natal group ;-) but might be able to remember something.
Sorry for long post - for those of you with brown spotting, mine's now gone. It was exactly when I'd normally have a period, so presume very much related - do check your dates if that helps.
