Where should my sugars be while pregnant?

I’m type 1 and I just found out I’m pregnant 4 days ago. Where should my blood sugars be? It was a shock to us that I got unexpectedly pregnant. My last a1c was a 9.1 a few weeks ago. I’ve been checking my sugars non stop and trying to keep it 150 or under. I’m just stressing out because I’ve spiked to 245, 289, and 290 today and it’s really me sick to my stomach thinking about it. I’m going to schedule an endo and Gyno apt for as soon as I get back home. In the mean time any help with keeping my sugars lower please tell me!!!!!

I’ve decided to only drink water while being pregnant unless I’m low then ill drink 8oz of orange juice.

All my snacks have to be within a one portion size no matter how hungry I am.

No junk food, I’m trying to be as healthy as possible.

Please don’t judge me for my high A1c. Now that I’m pregnant I KNOW it needs to be 7-6.5. I want to give it my best to get it down as quickly as possible... fingers crossed and prayers for me and my baby ❤️👶🏽
