Aww Michelle ... congratulations to you and Raffi! ❤🥰 Your channel has been such a safe haven for me as a t1 adult and watching your videos makes me feel like I have a t1 buddy. I commented last year how your channel was a motivator for starting to take initiative of my own care and I finally achieved a non-diabetic a1C after that 😭❤ It's encouraging to see so many T1 moms share their journey, and I wish you a healthy third trimester. You're going to be an amazing mom!
Congrats! I’m so happy for you!!! 😁💕🎉
It was very interesting to learn how your pregnancy can affect your diabetes, I had no idea it could affect it so much.
Congratulations on your baby girl!! How exciting!!!
I'm so glad you're doing well, that you and baby girl are healthy and that everything is going smoothly!! Congratulations again to you and Raffi!! You're super cute and deserve all the happiness in the world! Fingers crossed everything keeps going well and best wishes for this next chapter on your lives!!
I was wondering if/when this video would come. Congrats! I had a heathy happy T1D pregnancy, and had the same book. So helpful to hear from others who had good experiences! Not enough out there, especially on RUclips. Hope you make more!
I'm so happy for you (both)!
Had a funny feeling this might be happening. Glad I was right🤗!
I have no doubt your daughter will be at least as awesome as her mom (and dad)!
I am so extremely happy and proud of you guys!! 💕✨
Oh my goodness Michelle!! What a wonderful exciting video!!! I’m honestly in awe of your control and how committed you are, you’re already an incredible Mama!!! And a little girl! Oh you and Raffi are going to make such wonderful parents to this little girl! Congratulations to you both and thank you for being willing and open in making this content. I know this isn’t always the easiest- let alone when a babe is involved! Big love to you both and cannot wait to see more of your pregnancy content!! ❤️🥳🐣
Congratulations!!! And well done on all the hard work it takes to have a healthy pregnancy in Type 1 Diabetes.. will definitely keep the psychologist in mind for when my time comes x
Hey congratulations on the Baby! My wife and I learned that we are expecting our second! I am happy to hear that you are taking the mental health aspect seriously and hope you continue as needed after the baby is born. Our post partum was a difficult transition for us. You are killing it! I am looking forward to future videos of your beautiful family.
Congrats!!🎉 So happy for you!!
Big big congrats both of you! 🎉😍🎉 remember my pregnancy (22 years ago) and all work is sooooo worth it!♥️
Take it easy, dont stress and ENJOY!

Our very best wishes for this next chapter in life's adventure, to you and to your husband Michelle. We have three children and now seven grandchildren. It has all been a wonderful journey.
You bet I notifications on for this video 🥰❤️
Congratulations Michelle, I’m so beyond excited for you! I’ve been following you for almost a year now since my own diagnosis of T1D at 24, and there have been many days where watching your videos has helped me feel not so alone. I’ve even gone back and watched old videos as I just feel so comforted by your own experience! Thank you, and wishing you and your family all the best ❤️
Thank you so much! It makes me so happy to hear that my videos have been helpful
Awe yay congrats you two. 🥰🥰
So happy for you guys ❤❤❤
I am 26 years old and have been T1 for 18 years as well, i got pregnant with my first at 18 years old, i had miscarried at 10 weeks due to complications. I now have a 5 year ol daughter, i had her when i was 21 and it sure is tough dealing with pregnancy while being T1. I admire you two and can't wait too met your bundle of joy. 🥰❤
Congratulations!!! Thank you for sharing it really helps a lot . ❤️
MICHELLE! I am so happy for you and Raffi! Congrats 🎉 you’re going to make such a great mom, your little girl is going to be super blessed! I’m amazed at how hard you are working with your diabetes for both you and the baby. I applaud you 👏🏼
Thank you so much Dave!! I feel so grateful to be expecting a little bébé and to have such amazing support from friends and family
Congratulations Michelle. I’m very happy for you and Raffi.
I’m very happy for you and it sounds like you’re doing a great job managing your blood sugars. I am Type for 50 years now and have 2 daughters who are now 30 and 26. My pregnancies were also very difficult but I was very happy. I prepared my body like you. My OB told me that I would not feel my low sugars and he was right. I was checking it multiple times each day and I was so low at times but fortunately, I was still able to frantically drink some juice. I had to stay home from work. I also had hyperemesis, which is nausea and vomiting during pregnancy and had it the whole 9 months. Had to be hospitalized a few time and get hydrated to prevent early labor. For the 2nd pregnancy, I was immediately started on 2 medications to help me digest and absorb my food quickly so not to lose it. The downside was dry heaves!! My girls were delivered by c-section about 2-3 weeks early and they were and are very healthy. I would do it all over again if I was younger. I was already 36 and almost 40 when they were born.
I look forward to hearing about your baby girl! Congratulations!! Mary Wood
So happy for you, congratulations ❤️
Congratulations Michelle I’m so happy for you both this is exciting news I’m excited for you

Thank you sooo much for your videos!! My husband and I are planning on trying to get pregnant in the next 1-2 years and I want to start prepping- I already feel anxiety about the high stakes and importance of managing my diabetes.. your video helps me feel more prepared and lessens the anxiety though. Thank you!
Oh my gosh!!! Ahh!! I'm so happy for you guys!

Congratulations to the both of you Michelle! I went through two pregnancies (two handsome young men who are now ages 23 & 27) and back then we did not have all the technology we have today! Looking forward to your journey as a T1D Mom!

Congratulations Michelle!
Great video. I am completely and utterly terrified. I feel I’ll never be able to be healthy or good enough with type 1. I am petrified but it’s my biggest dream 😭
So happy for you both 😍😍💝🌺 can't wait to know her name, I'm sure she will be beautiful and smart like her mom and dad. Sending lots of love 😘😘😽
Congratulations that’s amazing news
so happy for you. you two look so happy and i know you are. my first pregnancy was 1984. glucometers were available in 1982. thank goodness i had that. a cgm would have been so wonderful for all 3 of my pregnancies. all healthy boys altho matt my first was 11 lbs at 36 weeks. he does have an autoimmune condition. the other two boys so far thank you God are without an autoimmune condition. i got so much better with diabetes control as i had more kids. mike the 3rd baby was 7 lbs 12 oz at 38 weeks with continual a1c of 5.5. carry on my lovely. you are doing a marvelous job xo
Congratulations ✨
Congrats! I was looking at this topic yesterday too
IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU
You have no idea how scared I am for My Fiancee and I to start conceiving and have a baby. I thank you guys for putting this video together and helping to quell my anxiety. sigh.
Also, Thanks for the Book Rec also, just ordered it!
Congratulations 💜
Thank you so much for sharing!
God bless you both! Congratulations!! 👍👍😍😍
Congratulations to you both 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations!😊
I'm so happy for you, Michelle! Wish you so much happy moments ahead. It's not easy and guess what- it becomes harder after the baby 😀 So be strong and have fun :)
I'm type 1 from 28 years now and have 2 wonderful boys- big brother 6 years old and baby 8 months. Hugs from Bulgaria :)
was your blood perfect before and during pregnancy? How was labour ? I am petrified
@@chcx5275 it wasn't perfect.. I use dexcom G5 and it was difficult with all the cravings. Here most of the women T1 have c section. No big deal, don't worry. Wish you luck! Don't be afraid, your little miracle makes you stronger :)
So sooo happy awwww little girl! Congrats🤗💓😇🙏
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations🎉🥳....... Take care.....
After being diagnosed in 1967, & going off to college a week later, I was married in 1971 - only advice was to have children early. I had our son (still on one shot of long acting + short acting insulin each day, & only urine strips for testing ... ) 5 1/2 wks early in 1972, & our daughter, 3 1/2 wks early in 1975, after 2 wks in the hospital being monitored. They are pictures of health at ages 46 & 48 - miraculous & beyond blessed. My blood sugar was tested ONCE during the “olden days” when my son was born. I’m doing well after 53 yrs with Type1, & was one of the first in our large city to go on a pump in the mid-80’s. How beautifully FAR we’ve come! You & your Baby Girl will be FINE🌟‼️
Congrates. I'm also type 1. We've been trying for years and still no luck. My A1C is always in range 6.5. I'm so happy for you.
Me too I have no luck yet either
Congrats! 💞
Congrats to you both 😃
Congrats 🥳
Congrats!
Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾 😄
Congratulations!
