Planning a Pregnancy
Most people with diabetes will have a healthy baby but having diabetes does put you and your baby at a higher risk of developing complications during pregnancy and delivery. If you have diabetes and you’re thinking about having a baby, it’s important to plan this carefully and get help from your diabetes care team so that you can reduce the risks and have a healthy pregnancy and baby.
Controlling your blood glucose levels, not smoking, eating well, exercising, reviewing your medications, taking folic acid and getting your eyes and kidneys checked are all things you need to think about when planning a pregnancy.
