Having diabetes does not mean you cannot have a healthy baby. Many women with diabetes have successful pregnancies with proper care. Here are some key points to consider:

  1. Pre-pregnancy planning: Work closely with your healthcare provider before conception to optimize your blood sugar levels.

  2. Blood sugar control: Maintain good blood glucose control during pregnancy to reduce risks for both you and your baby.

  3. Regular prenatal care: Frequent check-ups help monitor your health and the baby's development.

  4. Healthy lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet, stay active as advised, and avoid harmful substances to support a healthy pregnancy.

  5. Medication management: Your doctor may adjust your diabetes medications to ensure safety during pregnancy.

With careful management and support from your healthcare team, you can increase the chances of having a healthy baby. Always communicate openly with your doctors and follow their recommendations closely.

Hey, I'm really concerned about something. My friend had oral sex with her boyfriend, and now she's freaking out because she's missed her period. We're trying to figure out what could be going on. Does oral sex affect periods somehow? Could there be any other reasons she might be late? We're kinda stressed about this, so any insights would be really helpful.

Its understandable for your friend to be worried, but missing a period can happen due to various reasons like stress, hormonal changes, or other health factors. If shes concerned about pregnancy, even though oral sex typically doesnt lead to pregnancy, it might be helpful for her to take a pregnancy test or consult a healthcare provider for further reassurance.
