I recently found out I was pregnant, at the time 10 weeks and had absolutly no clue. I was told last fall I was premenopause due to right ovary removed and periods had been hit or miss for quite awhile. Needless to say it was quite a shock. Especially considering my health, I have low back issues, have had major back surgery, permenent nerve damage that affects my legs and also was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a year and a half ago at the age of 27. I have been on medication for my back issues for almost 2 years, I take Norco 10/325 4 times a day and Neurontin 300 mgs 3 times a day. I am scared to death over this pregnancy at this time I am just about 13 and a half weeks and while the norco is a class 3, so is the neurontin but the neurontin has been known to cause pretty serious birth defects. It is not well known but there are studies out there, Neurontin is an anti seizure med. Besides the risks of birth defects with the diabetes, there are risks to myself with the diabetes and pregnancy as well. I already have a son and step daughter, I am very very nervous about continuing this pregnancy ( I dont need any lectures I have beat myself up over this already ) My OB left so now I have a fill in who doesnt have a clue, my OB had told me previously I am not a canidate for pregnancy, Way too many issues. The fill in is refering me to a high risk dr who can not see me until august where I will be 18 weeks. By that time, I just dont know. Has anyone been in this situation?? My concern is besides the high risk meds, the risks to myself, Not all birth defects can be known prior to the birth. If something major is missed, then what?
