HELLO DEAR

DONT WORRY AND BE CALM

YOUR BABY WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY YOUR LOW SUGAR DIET...
REMEMBER; GOOD CONTROLLED DIABETES THROUGHOUT PREGNANCY WILL HELP YOUR BABY...
SO KEEP GOOD CONTROL ON YOUR DIABETES... EXCESSIVE SUGAR AND UNCONTROLLED DIABETES WILL CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS TO YOUR BABY LIKE MACROSOMIA, CONGENITAL ANOMALY ETC...

ITS GOOD THAT YOU ARE DIET CONSCIOUS AND YOU ARE KEEPING YOUR SUGAR IN NORMAL RANGE...KEEP IT UP...

SO YOU ARE DOING NO HARM TO YOUR BABY...NOW YOU CAN HAVE TARGETED SAN FOR ANOMALY AT 19-20 WEEKS...DONT WORRY..
