Type 1 diabetes, induction and more

[MissyEm]

Does anyone have any experience on when you receive THE date, The birth and also I think my insulin resistance just went up a notch feel down when I think I have taken the right amount and boom it's 8.0!

Stress is also at a high as my Mum attempted suicide on Monday, moving house in 2 weeks......23 weeks today and counting.......

Sorry you are having a tough time of it OP.

I think it varies by NHS trust. I remember talking to other mums on here and they were all told at different times.

I had GDD so slightly different but I needed inducing and to stay in hospital because I was on insulin. I was given the date about 4 weeks beforehand. In our trust it was 38 weeks, but due to the weekend it ended uo being 38+3. Some other mums I spoke to were between 37 and 39 weeks.

DD refused to come out so ended up with a c section 38+6! All fine though. Despite being told she would be huge she was 6lb 13.

Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy and for the birth x
