(More customer reviews)As a type 1 diabetic embarking on the pregnancy journey, I found it frustrating that there were no books "for me." It was difficult to find in-depth diabetes information even in the best pregnancy guides. When, and if, diabetes is mentioned in most pregnancy books, it is brief, and left me with the feeling that I needed more information. I found it in Balancing Pregnancy with Pre-Existing Diabetes. This book is a blend of useful, smart information (like what blood glucose numbers to expect in each trimester and what kinds of numbers to expect on the "big day") with a girlfriends-talking-over-tea conversational banter (with tons of different opinions, because, as we all know, diabetes is not one size fits all). I couldn't wait to get my copy, and I was not disappointed! I am a much more confident mama-to-be with this book at my bedside. Finally, a book for us!

Topics include what is diabetes, finding the right doctor, strategies to successfully conceive, the first, second, and third trimesters, labor and delivery, balancing the woman's health needs with those of her child, infertility and pregnancy loss, resources, and more.
