Is a C-Section necessary because of my preexisting diabetes?
Women who live with preexisiting Type 1, Type 2 or Gestational diabetes might think, or have been told, that they will have to have a Cesarean to deliver their babies. Is it true?
Meet T1D Momma, Ashley V.
When you are a woman married to another woman, both of whom desire to carry a baby, the choice seems obvious. One wife can carry the first baby and the other can carry the next...easy right? But what if both wives are considered high risk? This was our dilemma, and here is our journey toward growing our family.
Is early induction indicated because of my preexisting diabetes?
Many women who live with preexisting diabetes are hoping to carry to their due date at 40 weeks and often wonder if it is possible while living with diabetes.
Meet T1D Momma, Chrystal O.
Growing up I never thought I was going to have children of my own. My Endocrinologist would say do not get pregnant at this time. I was diagnosed at age 2 years old and now have been living 33 years with type 1 diabetes. Joining the Type 1 Diabetic Sugar Mommas group has been the perfect support, inspiration, and sense of unity I needed as a woman.

I was supposed to call the hospital on the day I was 38 weeks pregnant, to schedule my induction. Depending on how I was feeling, and on how busy the hospital was, I was going to be induced that Tuesday or one of the next two days.
Meet T1D Momma, Stephanie R.
I am lucky to be the first member of The T1D Sugar Mommas. This group is my second family. I was diagnosed at age 6, and grew up in Southern California with a sister who is also T1D. I am a High School Educator in San Jose, California and balance supporting teachers utilizing Educational Technology with being a wife and mom to three children.
