Hi and thanks for using the forum.

Congratulations on your pregnancy.  It is possible to have a normal healthy pregnancy when you have diabetes.  But it is important to have good prenatal care. You will need to have tight control of your blood sugars to ensure that your baby is as healthy as possible.   If you have not already started your pre-natal care, then be sure to do so.  Good luck and congratulations.
