Reassurance needed. Please.

NOTICE: I don’t want to be rude, but I honestly need happy things right now. I need other mothers who have had small babies and had them be perfectly fine, or at least survived. I just can’t take scary news right now.

So I have type one diabetes. And apparently a small baby. So I’ve went through this pregnancy thinking I was going to have a chunky baby girl via c-section. You know, like most diabetics? Not me! At my 27 week growth scan, my daughter is showing up at 25 weeks 4 days. So about 9 days behind where she should be. Currently I have no signs of fluid issues, or preeclampsia. Those are what we will be watching for.

So the reassurance I need? Small babies that did okay. Even if they needed the NICU. Just small babies, things to look for, and general happiness because I’m fucking terrified she’s not going to be okay. I thought she’d big, or normal sized, but with her being small the threat to take her early is being real. I just need support honestly.
