metformin
Hi I'm new at this and at being prego, I haven't been to the doc but already scheduled one for next week. Well do I need to stop taking metformin? Does it harm the baby?

Sorry this reply is late. Do not stop taking metformin. Do monitor your blood sugar closely and be careful with diet (avoid sweets, lots of carbs). If your blood sugar cannot be well controlled with metformin, your dr may start you on insulin, which is the preferred medication for managing diabetes during pregnancy.
It is important that your blood sugar is very well managed during pregnancy to keep both you and your baby healthy. Ideally your blood sugar will be maintained between 70 - 120, and never more than 140.

Being a dibitc doesn't always affect peing prego. If you're healthy so will ur baby. I was told to stop if/when I become prego. Ask ur doctor before stopping. GL to u and the new lil one
