having a panic attack. I'm a type one diabetic and I'm just short of 27 weeks pregnant with my first child, my little boy. The past few weeks as I head into the third trimester my blood sugars have been dangerously high even though I haven't changed any of my regimen. I go in to see my Maternal Fetal Medicine OB tomorrow and I was warned over the phone that they will likely admit me to the hospital for a few days to get my blood sugars down and stable. I know that being admitted is something I have to do for my son and I'm okay with that part, what I'm struggling with is the feelings of guilt. how can I expect to be a good mom for him once he's out of me if my doctors make me feel like I can't commit to being a good mom while he's inside of me! I know I love him and so does anyone that talks to me for more than a few minutes, my whole world revolves around this little boy, but I can't help but wonder if I'm his best chance. :'( I'm so terrified to go see my doctor tomorrow because he's not very good with bedside manner, he's very blunt and no nonsense, the last time I cried in his office he simply walked out on me. I love my son and I only have 10 more weeks until he's here, but I am FREAKING out over this.
sorry ladies I don't mean to unload on you like that I just can't post this to fb.
@bellainmybelly, thank you so much! I really needed to hear this tonight. I appreciate you taking the time to tell me this <3
You are not a bad mom!!! Don't ever let other people tell you, don't allow yourself to feel guilty! For what??? Like you said, nothing changed and before it was fine and now it is not! Diabetes is a condition not a characteristic! You are doing your best and baby will be fine, he is strong and safe in there thanks to you! He is growing and living and developing thanks to you! You are his life source, the one thing keeping him alive! You two will get through this, you wanting and making that choice of going to the hospital is a proof of you being a good mother and doing everything necessary to keep this boy healthy! Don't you dare feel guilty for doing everything in your power and ability to protect this baby. You are a strong, powerful and amazing woman and mother. Just because Doctor is an asshole that doesn't define who you are, if you have any option look for a different Doctor, someone you will be comfortable with and who won't make you feel like shit but encourage you and support you. I am here for you if you need somebody ❤️❤️❤️
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I have no friends! ?
I have no actual proper friends! I never go on nights out cos I don't have friends to go with! It doesn't usually bother me but it's starting too! My oh is busy helping his friend move today and then tonight he's out at the boxing with his mates and out after! Rhys is at his dads so it's just me and Isabella! ??
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?

Uncomfortable post. I woke up this morning to get ready for work and there was a tinge of red in my cm. I'm so worried. I took the day off and I'll be going to my doctor today to get looked at. She told me there was a pocket of implantation blood around the gestational sac that might come out eventually, and I'm really hoping that's what it is, but I expected brown not red. It was only there once and it seems to have stopped now but I can't be sure. Wish me luck today. I saw my lo ...
Always mama ☺️☺️☺️
