    hi everyone

    just looking for information from any pregnant PKU girls!!

    im 8 weeks pregnant and despite sticking to my diet religiously my levels refuse to settle. im on 4 exchanges and i take 5 sachets of PKU express. i have tried going down in protein to 3 exchanges to get the levels down but every time i do my levels go up. so today my level is 480 my dietitian reckons im not getting enough calories so ive to dose up on lucozade over the weekend

    so i guess i wanted to see if anyone else had a hard time with the levels and if anyone knows of any tricks i can use to keep them down. naturally i'm worried about the effect this is having on bubs but im really trying to not freak out about it

    my first scan isint till end of march which seems ages away! despite all my pku worries i am trying to enjoy being pregnant and i know itll be worth it in the end but for the moment its bloody difficult

    help!!!!!

    Hi xmas, I'm really sorry but this is something you'll need to talk over with your doctor.

    Good luck :)
