Diabetes and pregnancy

If you have diabetes and become pregnant, you can still have a healthy baby.

It’s very important to speak to your doctor, nurse, or diabetes care team as soon as you can — whether you are planning to have a baby or have just found out you are pregnant.

Being pregnant can make it harder to control your diabetes, and this can affect your baby’s growth.

Your care team will help you stay healthy and give you the support you need during your pregnancy.
