Hi everyone! I spoke to my midwife for the first time today (6weeks pregnant) and told her I have Coeliac disease. My (limited) knowledge previously was that being Coeliac shouldn’t affect pregnancy so long as you follow a strict Gluten Free diet, which I do. I was surprised then when my midwife mentioned that this would likely mean I would be consultant led. I am otherwise healthy.
Just curious if anyone else with coeliac has been consultant led and why this is? Also curious as to what being consultant led will actually mean on a practical level? I assume closer monitoring, which would be reassuring anyway I suppose.
Should also mention this is our first baby and we haven’t told anyone yet, so feeling a bit clueless!!! Have my ‘booking in’ appointment on Saturday so can ask more questions then too.
