Pregnancy Info HOME

that is pretty interesting. i wish i knew too....

Nosey, sounds like it could be insulin. Although, Doctor's don't recommend that people with type one diabetes get pregnant, but I know women who are diabetic and have had perfectly healthy children, but the risks are high.

Maybe its progesterone. Pregnant women use progesterone supplements when they don't have enough of their own. Why don't you just ask her. I'm sure its no big deal.

That would be insulin. When you are diabetic you cannot take oral medications if you are pregnant, only injections. She may have gestational diabetes

It could also be heparin, My friend has to inject herself because she has a clotting disorder.

well i do remember her saying that she had 3 previous m/c. that's why when i saw her (shooting up) i was so surprised like " what are you doing? but i really didn't know if it was legitimate or not. so i didn't want to sound ignorant before i knew the facts

I bet it is a blood thinner (simular to heparin). Unlike insulin it has to be given in the belly. It is given during pregnancy to women to prevent miscarriage if they have a history of repeated miscarriages. It seems to have good results.
