So my next experiment can i be a mother? And the answer was definitely yessssssss.

My marriage was on was on 1987 February and the curiosity if pregnancy is possible could be done only if i tried so never kept away time and i was shocked i was confirmed pregnant very soon . The elders had given a wrong concept to my husband family and my family that diabetes will not be pregnant specially if a girl had become a diabetic before she gets her menstruation.... They gave me regular checkups, strict diet ,hospitalization and my baby was doing good . but when it was the beginning of 8th month i had my pains that i was unaware cos no elders were with me and even though i was taken to the hospital ,my baby was breech and she was injured when taken out and after two days i lost her , god had taken her back and i was so lost and disappointed . but i had a positive thought in me that i can do it again and get her back , no problems i was so confident and thus i just waited and got my second daughter after another one and half years. and believe me i never kept so strict diets , i relaxed and took care by myself just visited the doctor as other normal patients and i got only admitted ,the day previous to my delivery . I am proud to say i was my doctor. And god blessed me with my second daughter on may 15th 1989........what i had lost i got.

But i experienced another complication and knew a truth that was not advised by any doctor that one should not get hypoglycemia at the time of delivery and it harms the baby, my daughter giot severe hypo and we had to keep go into tehsion for hours after she became k.

Then i had my son the year 1993 much easier and healthier than the two . Now both of them are teenagers doing good, healthy , so far they have no other illness by Gods blessings. and i am taking care of my family with my care,love and hard work. I do my house works, my teaching and after school tuitions also, cos with my medical expenses necessity i did my works pleasantly.

and now why did i write this definitely not to expose my life but here there are some things that a diabetes mother should understand.

1. Never think a diabetic cant enjoy a family life or bear children. Cos children is the gift from God and there are many who dont have one of their own and not diabetic.#

2. Prepare yourself and keep ur sugar controlled while planning for conceiving.#

3. Keep your regular checkups and always take the advice of a physician along with the gynecologist and take the vitamin tablets etc provided by ur doctor cos we diabetes lack those naturally in our body .#

4. Include your diet with fruits u can take and some good foods that u wish but see u use proper management of insulin.#

5.Make sure that ur sugar level never goes low cos the baby produces its own insulin and very low sugar for the mother is dangerous for the baby.#

6.If ur not advised rest do limited amount of exercises may be best walking and house works.#

7. when ur admitted for delivery see that ur sugar is atleast normal not less than that and take only short dose of insulin or avoid insulin before the delivery time. ( cos due to strain the patient mat not take enough food at that time and u may go into a hypoglycemia, that is fall of the sugar level to low. And this effects the new born baby and its not possible to give any glucose to the baby for two hours after birth,and it may harm the baby.#

8. Never bring unwanted tensions or listen to grandma stories cos all experience different so just clear ur doubts with the doctor if not satisfied go for a second opinion to anoher doctor and confirm ur doubts.#

9. Cleanliness is a must for all but taking care of ur skin, legs and ur body should be carried without laziness and be alert and relaxed,#

10. keep in mind its not only that diabetes can have some complications during delivery all can have cos there is good and bad in all situations of life ,so try and leave rest to God . dont forget ur prayers and trust in God and yourself.#

THERE IS MORE PERCENTAGE CHANCE FOR PREMATURE BABIES FOR DIABETES,

So hope this is enough for tonight more to shared the coming days good night to all.

Soosan, you should tag your blogs. That means you should put the key words down so that other people can find your blog later via the search box. You should tag this post with

mother children premature - and other key words, so in future, others can benefit from your knowledge. There is a wealth of information in your blogs.
