Hello mamas good morning, so I been struggling with diabetes, two months before getting pregnant was diagnosed. Felt terrible when I found that I was pregnant cause I wasn't in my best shape to bring a baby but enjoying every part of it!!! So I have a friend that is all into Chinese medicine (herbs) she's telling me to let her help me and get me into treatment, she's similar situations before with other patients and says since its natural herbs it won't affect the baby, but my husband is so pessimist that he only makes me wonder!!! Please help ?? Do you think I should do it!! The way I'm going she said she it's very likely to get preeclampsia and so my doctor said :(
Thank you mamas and yes she is a professional being studying and already a physician on the subject @kambam thank you so much just wanted to see if any of you have been familiar with it
tcm (traditional chinese medicine) can be very effective and its always my first form of personal treatment. as long as youre working with someone who knows what they're doing i highly recommend it 👍
unless your friend is a practicing physician I would be wary of advice. I'm sure she means well but she's not medically trained. don't let her psych you out.
I wouldn't take medicine /herbs without consulting your doctor. there's plenty of "natural" things that are highly unsafe for baby.
diabetes doesn't correlate to preeclampsia. being over weight can put you at slightly higher risk.
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...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
@mypreemieprincess, preeclampsia it is correlates to my diabetes but only because of my kidneys ☹️ and yes I am aware of the potential harm through natural herbs that's why my concern and hesitancy. Thank you so much 👍🏻🤗
