Pregnant, Diabetic and constantly getting ill

[Tigerlily08]

I'm 21 weeks pregnant and Type 1 Diabetic but my 9 month old has recently started nursery and the bugs she is bringing home are just insane! I'm feeling permanently floored by all the colds while my partner just seems to have a sniffle then move on.

Any tips for coping when we're only allowed paracetamol? Literally want to down some Night Nurse and sleep for 24 hours right now 😂

I havent even allowed myself paracetamol to be honest... and yea same thing, but am already in third trimester... my son has not stopped bringing illness after illness for the whole lengh of pregnancy even now has runny nose AGAIN..and my god already!!! ... 🤣🤣🤣😭😭 and who can sleep when u have another one to look after day and night 🤣
Just take it easy as much as u can , have teas , vitamins... and hope it goes away fast xx

How have you found the diabetes side during pregnancy? I’m T1 also, and very early days…obviously know about sugars rising during pregnancy but would be interested to hear real life perspective!
