Hi OP, sorry you're going through a tough time. I'm 35 weeks and have fibromyalgia, and I've been seeing a pain psychologist throughout pregnancy to help with my mental health too. It's not easy! At my last midwife appointment a couple of weeks ago I sobbed my way through it because I was so fed up of the pain, sickness, stress and lack of sleep. I've managed to get a bit more sleep this last week and suddenly things feel a little more manageable.

You've now got a date to work to for meeting your little one! Hopefully that helps you, knowing the end is in sight (for the pregnancy related elements at least). In 9 weeks you'll be cuddling your little one and you won't need to worry about the pregnancy or the diabetes.

Is there anything in particular you can pin your feelings to? Is it the exhaustion? How's your sleep, is there anything limiting that? I always find I can cope a little better if I've managed to get some sleep. Mumsnet is a great resource for advice from mum's who have been there, if you can pin down what the issue is someone may just have the solution.

You're so close now. Good luck!
